Side Bridge

Core · Bodyweight · one side at a time

How to do it

On your side, propped on your forearm with the elbow under your shoulder and your feet either staggered or stacked. Lift your hips until your body is in line and **keep the hip up**, without letting it sag or rotating your torso. You feel the bottom oblique and the gluteus medius. To make it easier, drop the bottom knee down.

Variants

The drawing shows one way of doing it, and the technique above describes that one. Almost every exercise has variants — standing or seated, the grip, the bench angle — and is still the same exercise: if you do it another way, write it in the exercise note and you will have it every time you train it.
