1. Side Plank
How it works:
A. Lie down on your left side with your elbow directly beneath your shoulder and legs stacked. Put your right hand on your left shoulder or on your right hip.
B. Brace your abs and lift your hips off the floor until you are balancing on your forearm and feet so that your body forms a diagonal line. Clutch for at least 30 to 45 seconds. If you can’t clutch that long, stay up as long as you can and then repeat until you have held for 30 seconds total. Switch sides and do the same.

More special stabilization moves: The standard plank and the anti-rotation grip.

Why it works:

This move is more challenging than a traditional plank because you are supporting your entire body weight on two points of contact instead of four. As a result, you must work out your core harder to stay much stabilized.

2. Alligator Drag
How it works:
A. Find a stretch of floor that allows you to go forward 10 to 20 yards, and hold anything that will slide over the surface with minimal friction. Dinner plates or plastic bags work on a carpeted floor, while towels work on wood or on tile.
B. Begin in pushup pose with your feet on the slides, towels, or plates.
C. Walkout yourself forward with your hands to the end of your runway (the aim is for at least 10 yards). Relax for 60 to 90 seconds (or as long as you think you will recover) and repeat the same alligator walk back to where you started. That’s one set. Redo it one more time.

Why it works:
This plank uses your entire core to keep your body stabilized and burns extra calories by adding movement (trailing yourself along the floor). It mixes cardio, stability, and strength training to get you faster results of fat-burning.

3. Walkout from Pushup Position
How it works:
A. Begin in pushup position with hands two inches wider than your shoulders.
B. Walk your hands out as far as possible, and then walk back. Do it for about 10-12 times. Make it more difficult: Lift one leg up before you walk your hands out and back.
