Exercise Challenge – Side Plank Lift 200 Reps!
Hi BodyRockers!
Freddy and I are updating this exercise challenge from Barcelona Spain where we are exploring the city and doing Burpees Everywhere! We are taking a lot of pictures and some videos so we will be able to share our trip with you on Monday when we return home to Prague. If you ever get the chance to spend some time in Barcelona then be sure and experience this magical city for yourself. The food and atmosphere here is very warm and welcoming, and after the snow and cold of Prague it feels like we have stepped back into early October :)

Instructions:
Today we are doing Side Plank Lift exercise which will target your core, and your upper body. This exercise improves your strength,balance, and flexibility. Get into the starting position (see the featured image above) with your right hip down and your right hand on the floor underneath your shoulder for support. Your right arm is fully extended and all of the muscles on your body should be engaged. Lift your hips up off of the ground to position your body into a straight line (see the image below). Lower your hips down into the starting position in a controlled manner – this means that you are not dropping your hips down. People cheat this exercise by going for speed and not touching down with their hips for each rep. Another cheat is not going up high enough so that your body is in a straight line. Don’t be a cheater – be a BodyRocker and get the full benefits of this exercise. We are doing a 100 reps on each side. You can switch sides after 10, 20, or 50 reps depending on your strength and strategy. I was switching sides every 20 reps to give my other side a bit of recovery. I managed to complete the full 200 reps in 6 minutes and 51 seconds – without cheating. Freddy took 9 minutes and 5 seconds although he claims his strategy of going for 50 reps at a time slowed him down by burning him out early. I say it’s another point for the girls team :)
