How to do side plank...
These exercises are great for those who want to know how to lose stomach fat.
Over the past few weeks I have been asked to show how to perform these exercises. So I decided to throw this page up with 2 exercise videos and 1 nice exercise description that I found from A.C.E. (American Council on Exercise)
Birddog
Targeted Muscles: Lumbar extensors - longissimus, iliocostalis, multifidi
From an all-fours position, extend one leg and the opposite arm so that they are parallel to the floor. Hold this position for seven to eight seconds, and then repeat with the opposite arm and leg.
Training Points to Emphasize
- Maintain neutral spinal alignment throughout the exercise.
- Maintain a mild contraction of the abdominal wall to help ensure spine stability.
- Avoid "hiking" the hip, which twists the spine.
