How to do the High Side Plank

1. Lie on one side with legs extended and feet stacked.
2. Place your bottom hand on the floor under your shoulder and press into it to lift your hips.
3. Reach the top arm toward the ceiling and hold a straight line from head to heels.
4. Switch sides halfway through the hold.

Tips

• Keep the supporting wrist aligned under your shoulder.
• Lift your hips high to stay in a single plane.

Adjustments

• Lower your bottom knee for extra support.
• Move to a forearm side plank if your wrist prefers it.
