Form:

• Start on your side with your feet stacked on each other.

• Tuck your elbow under your shoulder and keep your hips off the ground.

• Hold your body straight while squeezing your abs and preventing your hips from falling.

Rep Ranges:

• This exercise is best performed in timed sets and can be combined with supersets or circuits to increase intensity.
