In this video, Dr. Michael Nelson from Carolina Active Health Chiropractic in Greenville, SC covers how to perform the side plank. The side plank is one of the most beneficial, and often overlooked core exercises. It is one of the McGill Big 3 exercises.
Often times, we think about core exercises only in the Sagittal Plane, but it is important to utilize all planes of motion! The Side Plank is a great exercise for working in the Frontal Plane, and also is a great hip abduction exercise!
