Description: The Side Plank - How To Do It The Right Way Isometrics are key exercises to include in your routine to improve your stability and mind-body connection. They are a great way for you to target underactive muscles and really get them firing correctly. They are a great way to make sure that you’re using muscles efficiently and effectively to work together to perform a movement. Because we have to remember that part of getting stronger is learning how to quickly and efficiently recruit muscles to work together in the right order, each carrying the load they were meant to carry! But so often these seemingly simple moves are taken for granted. We simply try to get through the hold, or hold longer, instead of really focusing in on engaging muscles correctly as hard as possible. That’s why I wanted to discuss one amazing core isometric, the Side Plank, and not only why this move is so key but also how we can get more out of it to not only strengthen our entire core but also avoid knee and shoulder aches and pains.
