How to do it

  1. Set the TRX foot cradles low and place both feet inside.
  2. Drop to your side with your forearm on the floor under your shoulder.
  3. Lift your hips into a straight side-plank line.
  4. Hold steady and braced for time, then switch sides.

The one cue that matters

The unstable straps want to wobble you, keep hips high and stacked.

Muscles worked

The TRX Side Plank isolates the Core — no passengers. That makes it a clean tool for adding targeted core volume without extra fatigue.

FAQ

What muscles does the TRX Side Plank work?

The TRX Side Plank primarily works the Core.

How long should I hold it?

Start with sets you can hold with perfect position, even if short. Add a few seconds each session; quality beats clock-watching.

One side at a time?

Yes, it's a unilateral movement. Start with your weaker side and match the reps with your stronger side so no side gets ahead.
