How To Do A Side Plank | The Right Way | Well+Good 

MY ARM IS SO SHAKY I ALMOST FELL OMG

HOW'D YOU DO THAT WHILE EXPLAINING I CAN BARELY BREATHE

Thanks so much this is really well explained and much easier than the one with the elbow on the ground (that one hurt my shoulder)

This was SO helpful. Great explanation and no blathering on and on. More of these explanations.

FINALLY!! concise and visually helpful guidance. Instant subscribe.

My arm shakes like a leaf whenever I try side plank! Am I doing something wrong or do I just need to get stronger?

I can't lift myself at all like this. I can't flex the muscles in my left side not feel them due to a brain injury. Nor a muscle in my left thigh and upper arm. I'm wondering if it's because of that, though I'm having problems on both sides. Like I'm trying to signal with my brain to lift, but nothing happens. I don't know if it's because my muscles aren't strong enough or I should just give up on trying.

thank you so much and I want to do them right. I keep tilting.

You made it looks easy 😮

Thx a lot for the vid!! Could you a video about how to do a side plank rotation/elbow twist The right way? I found this great exercise but I´m kinda confused about feet positioning

You look like u r standing but slanted...I mean ITS PERFECT..I'm here about to be a cocktail shaky😂

Im just starting sideways plank .but I feel pain at lower hips/waist while doing sideways plank?? Should I continue or stop this exercise??

yeah I almost died

Great explanation!Keep up the good work!

my first time doing these something popped in my knee lol..

am doing this for school Im not healthy idk why am here😴

Is a basic plank split the work your muscle has to to on each side but side plank has no split so double the work on your muscles.

Ok I do it on my forearm Bc my wrist hurts this way. Is that ok?

Do you lock the knees?

my bottom leg ankle hurts on the staggered plank, any way to make it hurt less?

How about going on elbow

If I feel my lat working (on my supporting arm's side), am I doing it right?

I don’t really like the visions but is helpful but what the add about

How long should we maintain the position? I normally do traditional planks for 2-3 mins and it is HELL

Bless her soul. She's very young. Where are all the mature seasoned yogi's? Mostly, yoga seems to have been taken over by young fit woman. So, I guess, my concern with most Fitness professionals is they've no clinical therapeutic body working experience or working knowledge of anatomy as it pertains to treating injuries or working from weakness. My experience as a Clinical Bodyworke and Yogir is Some have wrist injuries or weakness even loss of cartilage in the wrist or shoulder preventing them from "stacking". In this case, I recommend the standing hand be used like in Down Dog, the weight goes on the Pads of the hands. Not "stacked" to their detriment. Slavish obedience to doctrines are often misinterpreted and\or anal retained. Understanding people have different natural strengths and weakness, muscularly and skeletal, I feel it's often inappropriate, unsafe, discouraging and dangerous to state there's only 1 way that is correct. That's simply not true but give props to this young lady for putting yoga and herself out there.

I AM TOO HEAVY FOR MY ARM😩

I couldn't stop giggling while doing this XD

Omg you look great

I have to do this both the sides? And for how much time I should hold?

Ive tried. But my upper body is too heavy. Lol

The strength you have it's scary

I recently do abs training program that has side plank in it, i cant do it cause my lower body is heavy and my hand not strong enough -_-

Do yourselves a favor people and go elbows on the ground feet on ground . Helps create shoulder stability as well

How long do you hold a side plank?

I came here because everytime after I did side planks for ballet (i didn't face any difficulties while doing it which was red flag no.1 for me since my upper body tends to be weak) my upper back between my shoulder blades would hurt and yet my core muscles or side muscles didn't hurt at all

How are you able to breathe easily and talk in a side plank?! 😆

I don't know why but everytime I do side planking (I drop down to both knees) on my left, i feel an ache on my hip. My right side is ok though. Can someone help?

It hurts my wrist when inline with my shoulder... Interesting..

2:48 Am I seeing superwoman or God?

Works better with elbow on mat to begin with.

My wrists bones feel like they Are about to crunch after 5 seconds

Rotating plank pls

I really cant flat my back when I exercise lower belly 🥲

I keep falling and I do this The 2nd time

So what’s the exercise. The movement? All I saw was positioning.

I did not come here for my p.e class.....

how does anyone need an explanation to a SIDE PLANK its literally a plank but on one leg and arm. i just need to copy and paste instructions

My hand: vibration mode on

Anyone else’s wrists feel like there going to snap or is it just me. Srsly tho is that normal or am I doing something wrong

Omg you really explained it well.. I have so little arm strength. I was doing it wrong the whole time. 😩

Thank you..well explained..godbless to your channel☺️

Helloo, thanks so much, this is really helpful but how do I improve my side star plank? Especially when elbow is on the ground? It is too hard to raise the leg while doing the "side plank elbow on the ground". How do I manage it?

This is not correct !

Super

Why does the palm of my hand hit

Thanks a lot mam really good and helpfull, incredible.

Thanks Chuck! Thank you for all the videos you do on proper form!
