Plank hip twists

  • Duration: 6 min
  • Level: Beginner
  • Goal track: Weight loss

Start in a forearm plank with your knees resting on the mat for an easier base, elbows under your shoulders and your body in one straight line from head to knees. This is your starting position. Breathe out as you gently rotate your hips to lower them toward one side, just above the mat, then breathe in as you lift back to centre and rotate to the other side. Keep your shoulders as still as possible, letting only your hips twist. Repeat 8 to 10 times, alternating sides.
