EXERCISE OF THE WEEK, week 12

This week we will target your core, and no core workout is complete without some good side work!  

WEEK 12: FOREARM PLANK TWIST

(A)

(B)

Proper Form: Start in a forearm side plank by propping your body up on your left forearm, with your elbow stacked underneath your shoulder and your hand in front of your body. Extend your legs and stack your right foot on top of your left. Squeeze your abs and glutes to lift your hips off the floor. (A)
Rotate your torso toward the floor, bringing your right elbow to meet your left hand. Don't let your hips drop—the movement should come from your core. (B)
Then, reverse the movement to return to the starting position.
Continue for 1 minute. Then repeat for 1 minute on the opposite side. Rest and repeat.

Muscles Targeted: Targets your core (especially the obliques) and the deltoids.
