I love Jennifer's videos:
Gotta love the work ethic,and the great
camera placement on those KB workouts!!-
Here's Jen:
--Using combinations of planks is a great way to build endurance in the abdominals, back and stabilizers. Developing core strength is critical as the core is the platform for every other functional movement. To improve strength in push-ups, deadlifts, squats, rows, presses, etc it is essential to have solid abdominal and back muscles with endurance to safely support the movement.
The side plank is a static exercise used to strengthen the abdominals, back and shoulders. Compared to a plank on both hands or forearms, the side plank places more of the load on the oblique muscles. You will feel the obliques (side of your stomach) closest to the ground firing to lift the hips and fight the gravity that is trying to force your body toward the ground. This is one benefit of combining side planks with other variations of planks such as mountain climbers and marching planks (as shown in the video) – not to mention the development of strong shoulder stabilizers. Training these movements together will create BALANCE in your abdominal and lower back muscles
She was kind enough to share this video:(link to her you tube channel for more!!)
