The side plank hip lift, also called the side plank dip, is similar to the traditional version except that you need to dip and then lift your hips. It is an ideal exercise for those who want to stabilize their shoulder and hips. By working your lower abdominal muscles, the exercise helps tighten your core and shrink the waistline.

How to do Side Plank Hip Lifts
Start the exercise by lying in the standard side plank position so that your resting elbow is under the shoulder and your shoulder is in line with the feet. Lower your hip without making contact with the floor and then bring it up to the original side plank position. Do the desired number of sets and then perform it on the other side.

- If the exercise is difficult for you, then you may perform an easier variation by keeping your knees bent on the floor with your feet stacked.
