Lie on one side with knees bent, place the elbow directly under the shoulder and press the forearm into the floor. Lift the hips until the shoulders, hips and knees align. Hold 10–25 seconds while breathing normally, then repeat for 2–3 rounds per side. Make it easier by shortening the hold; progress by straightening the top leg before attempting a full side plank. Stop if the supporting shoulder pinches, and check that it is not collapsing toward the ear.
