Side Plank With Leg Lift
In this video, Dr. Brian Damhoff from Elite Performance Institute demonstrates the Side Plank With Leg Lift — a challenging lateral core variation that targets the obliques, glute med, and hip stabilizers. This is an excellent option when you want to progress a standard side plank without adding equipment.
🔥 Benefits of the Side Plank With Leg Lift:
- ✅ Lights up the glute med and lateral hip stabilizers
- ✅ Builds lateral core strength and anti-sag control
- ✅ Challenges balance and full-body tension
- ✅ Great progression from a standard side plank
