KETTLEBELL SIDE PLANK

This exercise is an advanced version of the conventional SIDE PLANK. Set your body up by supporting it with your elbow and foot while laying on your side. Hold a kettlebell in a ‘bottoms-up’ position with the free arm, and raise it to be directly about your shoulder. Raise the pelvis and hips off the floor and hold a neutral spine position and hold the side plank position.
