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)

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

[@xbobtheslobx]

Work on it... eventually you'll get stronger. What I've learned is workouts don't get easier, you just get stronger. Hope that helped 👍🏾

[@Crystal-od5is]

I thought I was the only one!

[@boysenberrybutterfly5823]

I immediately imagined a leaf just blowing away

[@warmlavender5525]

Not your fault at all it’s definitely just a strength thing. Once you build up your obliques and arms more you’ll shake less. Especially if you don’t use those muscles a lot, shaking is pretty normal.

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

[@canan2]

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?

[@Wellandgood]

Sounds like you may need to build up your coordination and stability! Check out Traci's 15 Minute Coordination workout here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnyqeoZrqL2enq8

[@KRAFTY.ESPF1st]

My arm twitched lmao and my whole body fell forward

[@conor-_C]

How about going on elbow

[@IzzysTravelDiaries]

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.

[@Rasko501]

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

[@rawrwithme8063]

Mikasa workout guys 😉😂

[@meedoshi8526]

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

We recommend 6-10 seconds each side with a total of 2-3 sets!

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?

[@zeusdarkgod7727]

You may be overly thrusting your pelvis out, i would recommend doing both sides on the knees for now and build up to the more advanced as you don't want to build more muscle on one side than the other (creating an imbalance in your body can lead to future issues) and it can help you figure out what the problem is.

[@Hi-sz9yg]

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.

[@queunlimited4779]

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.

It’s a plank? You hold it. Usually for 30 seconds or so. Some people might put their arm up for balance or with a weight.

This is not correct !
