To learn MORE about how I overcame LOWER BACK PAIN read this:
To get my NEW DVD where I focus on core strengthening go HERE:

Everyone has a natural curve in their back. When you are doing a plank you want to make sure your pelvic is tucked under and your back is flat.

Keep everything tight by clenching your gluts, your stomach in, and having that curve out of your back.

Now I’m going to demonstrate how to do scissors. Okay, this is primarily a lower abdominal exercise. What I’m doing is lying down on my back. Okay, hands at my side, or if you need to palm some back support, you can place your hands underneath your uh, glutes. Okay, and your legs are gonna be extended. Okay, and you’re actually going to twist your legs in and out. Okay, or you can do it straight on. So there’s two different variations. You can go inner, outer, both work your lower abdominal’s, or you can go straight. Okay, keep the knees slightly bent, so it takes off a little pressure in the back. Okay, or you can do another variation and you’re bringing the legs inner and then outer. But primarily this exercise is working the lower abdominal region. Okay, so that is the proper way to a scissor.

Now I’m going to demonstrate how to do a side plank, and the best way to start doing that, is to lie on your side. You’re going to keep your arm at a 90 degree angle, so you’re resting primarily most of your weight, obviously in your core, underneath your hips and your obliques. But you’re putting the pressure along here down on the floor on your wrist and your elbow, trying not to put a lot of pressure in the shoulder. That’s very important. Okay. And what I want to do is I lift up. Try to overlap your legs.

You could also do it where it’s a little easier version, where your one leg is flat on the floor for balance. This would be the harder version where you’re overlapping your legs. And then you’re just going to shoot that hip high in the sky, keeping the chest high. Don’t lean forward; keep the chest and nice and high, and extend that arm straight up to the ceiling. Notice I have my bottom one out at a 90 degree angle, my hip is high in the sky, and I’m lifting that left arm straight up in the air. And you want to hold this. It’s more of like a yoga position, more of a Pilates movement, and it’s about strengthening the core here. So it’s not a lot of movement. You’re just holding this position for a certain amount of time. You could start with 30 seconds, and you could try and to progress to a minute.

And you’re just going to breathe naturally, as you’re holding this position, keeping that chest opened up. You’re going to lower, and obviously you want to do both sides because it’s a side plank, you have to do both sides. So I’m not going to demonstrate that but you want to do both sides, the same way you did on the first side. And that’s how you do a side plank.
