Rainbow Plank
The Rainbow Plank is an excellent exercise for strengthening the core, especially the obliques. Start in a forearm plank position and slowly tilt your hips to one side, creating a “rainbow” shape with your body. While performing this movement, ensure your back remains neutral and your body stays aligned. This exercise is great for toning the waist, improving stability, and increasing overall core strength.
(Back-Friendly Version)
To make this exercise more back-friendly, perform the Rainbow Plank with your knees on the ground instead of your toes. This reduces the strain on your lower back while still targeting the same muscles. Keep your back straight and control the movement to avoid putting unnecessary pressure on your spine.
Rainbow Plank Steps:
- Start in a forearm plank position, ensuring your elbows are directly below your shoulders.
- Slowly tilt your hips to one side, letting your feet rotate as well to form a rainbow shape.
- Slowly return to the center and repeat the movement on the other side.
- Keep your back straight and avoid letting your hips drop too low.
- Perform for 30 seconds on each side, then take a short rest.
