Side Plank Lift w Band Abduction

Set up with a loop band just above your knees. In this side plank lift, you will not only lift upward, you're going from a slight hinge on the ground to extending your hips at the top. The goal is to feel the work in the whole underside of your core from shoulder through to hip and your bottom side glute. As you lift, keep your heels together and open your top knee into the resistance of the band. This will even out the feeling of work between your two hips. Throughout the exercise, maintain the shape of your core by reaching your hips back to return back to the ground.
