How to: Resistance Band Kneeling Side Plank
- Start in a kneeling position with one knee on the ground and the other foot placed firmly on the ground, forming a straight line from the head to the foot.
- Wrap the resistance band around the top arm and anchor it to the ground or a sturdy object.
- Engage your core and lift your hips off the ground, forming a straight line from the head to the knee on the ground.
- Hold this position for 15-30 seconds, then lower back down.
- Switch sides and repeat.
Common Mistakes
