How to do Side Ab Bridge Hold

What about those neglected oblique muscles that are rarely worked out? The Side Ab Bridge hold is a great beginner exercise to strengthen those oblique muscles.

Level: Beginner
Muscles: Obliques
Equipment: Floor Mat

Instructions:
Step 1: Lie on a floor mat with your legs spread straight out. Turn to one side of your body using the opposite arm for support. The supporting arm should be parallel to the ground.

Step 2: Now constrict your oblique muscles to lift yourself off the ground. Keep your abdominal muscles constricted in this position and hold for 30 seconds or longer depending on what your goal is. It is important to keep your body in a straight line with your elbow directly under your shoulder for support. Start out with 3 sets of holds and move your way up.
