CLICK IMAGES TO START WORKOUT

Variation: Gym ball side plank

The extra instability makes it tougher to hold the position.

View Variation: Gym ball side plank

Variation: Raised side plank

Lifting and arm and a leg introduces other muscles into the hold and makes your core work harder to maintain balance.

View Variation: Raised side plank

Variation: Side plank with lateral raise

Use a light dumb-bell - this move is more about improving co-ordination than building muscle.
