Copenhagen Plank

How to do it

  1. Lie on your side next to a bench with your forearm on the floor and your elbow directly under your shoulder.
  2. Place the top of your upper foot or lower leg on the bench, with your bottom leg underneath it.
  3. Lift your hips off the floor until your body forms a straight line from head to foot, letting the bottom leg hover off the ground.
  4. Squeeze your inner thighs and keep your hips stacked, without letting them sag or rotate.
  5. Hold for the desired time, then lower with control and repeat on the other side.
