March Side-Plank

1. Start by lying on one side with your legs extended and stacked on top of one another. Keep your elbow directly beneath your shoulder and your forearm flat on the ground to support your upper body.

2. Engage your core and lift your hips off the ground by pushing through your forearm and feet, bringing your body into a straight line from head to feet. This is your side plank position.

3. Hold the side plank position firmly, making sure your hips do not drop.

4. While maintaining the plank, slowly raise your top leg upward without compromising the stability of your hips or upper body, as if you're marching.

5. Lower your leg back down to the starting stacked position while still keeping your hips raised.

6. Repeat the leg raise movement for the desired number of repetitions.

7. After completing the set on one side, switch to the other side and repeat the same motion to ensure balance in muscle development and strength.

Key Tips: - Keep your core tight and engaged throughout the exercise. - Your body should remain in a straight line during the plank; avoid letting your hips sag or rotate. - Control your leg movements to maintain stability and enhance muscular engagement. - Breathe steadily throughout the exercise.
