Side Plank Hold

Uneven trail and fell terrain creates side-to-side forces. Poor lateral control can lead to hip drop, wasted movement, poor foot placement, and instability when tired. It is especially relevant on cambered paths, rough descents, and rocky ground.

How to perform it

1. 1Lie on your side with your elbow under your shoulder.
2. 2Stack your feet or place one foot in front of the other for balance.
3. 3Lift your hips so your body forms a straight line.
4. 4Hold without letting the hips drop or rotate.
5. 5Repeat on the other side
