Exercise Benefits:
• Perform this exercise at home or in the gym.
• This exercise will challenge your core, and build stability and strength. In addition, it will build up stability in the shoulder joint.
• Strength and stability in the core and shoulders are important for good performance in most sports.
How to Do the Exercise:
• Lie on your right side, and make sure that your shoulder, hip, and knees form a straight line. Place your forearm on the ground with your elbow bent at 90 degrees, and “stack” your shoulder directly over your elbow.
• With your knees in line with your shoulders and hips, fold your lower legs behind you at about 90 degrees.
• Tighten your abdominals to support your spine then lift your bodyweight onto your forearm and the side of your right knee. In this position, your shoulder, hips, and knees will form one straight line. You should not be sagging at the waist. Your spine should be straight, and at no point should your back be arched or rounded.
• Hold the position for the specified length of time then slowly lower your body back to the start position. Keep the movement controlled, and your abdominals taut. Avoid slumping towards the ground. Repeat for the specified number of repetitions before switching sides.
Progression:
• Step 1: Once you’re able to perform this exercise balanced on your forearm and knees, you can increase the intensity by straightening the knees so that your feet, knees, hips, and shoulders are in line. Instead of your knees, elevate your body using only your forearm and the side of your right foot. This lengthens the lever, and increases the amount of resistance.
Research proves that combining coaching with app-based programs results in significantly greater weight loss than apps alone.
90% of obesity is driven by diet, not lack of movement. Your body has a "Metabolic Thermostat." When you exercise more, it burns less energy elsewhere to keep you stable.
This sample menu works for an "average" person. But you aren't average. Your hormonal profile, weight history, and activity level require exact macro targets to work.
