Perform the plank until you can hold it for 90 seconds – do as many sets as you need to achieve this goal. Between sets, rest for as long as you held the plank. So, if you held this exercise for 30 seconds on your first set, rest 30 seconds after that set. Continue doing the same with the side plank on both sides. As you get stronger, increase the length of time you hold each position.

Plank

Hold for 90 seconds.
Rest: as long as you hold the plank.
Get into a push-up position, then bend your elbows 90 degrees to forearms lay on the floor. Tighten your abs and keep your body in a straight line for as long as possible.

Rest: as long as you hold the side plank.
Lie on your left side, placing your left forearm on the floor for support. Lift your hips up so that your body forms a straight line and tighten your abs – your weight should be on your left forearm and the edge of your left foot.
