Toned and Tight Tuesday: Side Plank with Twist

Today's move will hit all the muscles in your core, your upper body and arms, and will really put your balancing skills to the test!

I present to you the Side Plank with a twist:

Start in a side plank position with your left arm directly below your shoulder and your right arm bent behind your ear. Stack your feet on top of each other. If this is difficult for you to do and keep your balance, you may stagger your feet with your right foot in front of your left.

Twist your body to the front and down and try to touch your elbow to your hand.


Come back up to the starting position.(This is me coming back up...my husband thought it was necessary to get an action shot :P haha)


For a modified version, you may do this on your foreman instead of extending your arm completely.


Twist forward and touch your elbow to the ground just as was done in the advanced version.

Do 12-15 reps of whichever version you choose and then switch sides.

And that's it! Another great move to add to your workout! Let me know how you like it! :)
