Core Radiance
step 1) Get in position
Lie on your left side propped up on your left forearm. Cross your ankles by placing your right foot in front of the left, and lift your body off the floor so it forms a straight diagonal line. Place your right hand behind your head so your elbow points toward the ceiling
step 2) Contract and curl down
Holding this side plank position, contract your abs and obliques and curl your right elbow down across your chest toward the floor as far as comfortably possible without dropping out of the plank position. Return to the starting position. Complete a set, and then switch sides.
You’ll feel it
In your obliques, abs, back, chest and shoulders.
The Body-Love benefit
Sometimes the hardest moves are the smallest. This one forces you to hold you body still against the forces of gravity while performing small, fluid curls. The result is rock-solid stability. You'll be an unbudgeable force in the face of adversity.
Kacy’s coaching tips
You need to keep your core tight and strong to maintain this pose, but the rest of you should be loose. Relax your face and neck. Keep your shoulders down away from your ears. Don't allow your hips to sag toward the floor. Your body should stay completely straight head to toe.
