Plank Variations for Obliques

Planks are a great way to engage your core and specifically your transverse abdominous. Obliques are part of the core, on your sides, and are responsible for the twisting or side crunching motions.

In this video Trainer Lindsey goes over some form tips for your planks that are going to help work your obliques.

1. Knee Taps. Starting in an elbow or hand plank, all you need to do is bring one knee down slowing and tap it on the floor. Then do it with the other.

2. Plank Twist. In a plank position, rotate your hips side to side as if you were going tap your hip on the floor each time you rotate from one side to the other.

3. Side Crunch while Holding Plank. Alternate bringing one knee up at a time and perform a side crunch. Alternate legs and do the same on the other side.
