" I would like to take a second to pay homage to a fabulous move, which isn&amp;#x27;t a new invention or anything (or grandmothers probably knew about it), but I have a new affection for it. Here&amp;#x27;s why I&amp;#x27;m Iovin&amp;#x27; the side plank...**** It hails from yoga, of course, but I&amp;#x27;ve been doing a lot side planks courtesy of the celebrity fitness boot camp I&amp;#x27;m doing right now. In fact, on the first day of boot camp, our trainer told us that this move would work the areas on the side of our bellies--our obliques--to help tone them up (a request of many of the boot-campers). I don&amp;#x27;t know about you, but I could use some serious help in this area. How to? Basically you just start with a plank pose and flip over to your side, keeping your arm on your hip and elevating your bum up--then hold for a few seconds until you feel a burn--then bring it down. Repeat. There&amp;#x27;s a really good video about how to do a plank and a side plank from Body by Glamour trainer Ramona Braganza. I&amp;#x27;ve been doing this move a lot and my obliques have never felt more sore (which is good!). Yay! Are you a fan of the plank? The side plank? What&amp;#x27;s your favorite move?
