Side Plank Leg Lift
The side plank leg lift adds more lateral hip strength, stability and stamina work to the general trunk demand of the side plank.
Hold a side plank position and lift the top leg as high as you can and lower again under control. Prevent any sagging of the hip toward the floor or rotation during the motion.
Purpose
The side plank leg lift adds lateral hip strength, stability and stamina to the side plank.
Programming
Side plank leg lifts can be done with other trunk and accessory work at the end of a training session. Sets of 10-20 reps per side, or prescribed time or work-rest intervals can be done.
