We have all heard of, and done, side planks for strengthening one’s core and outer thigh. Today I want to share with you a powerful and innovative core strengthening exercise that is similar to the side plank, yet targets your inner thigh, shoulder girdle and core. I call it the Inner Thigh Side Plank. When done correctly, this fantastic exercise will not only strengthen your core, but also reduce or prevent back pain. Check out these three variations for the novice to advanced level client. Happy Training!
