Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Kneeling Side Plank Raise.
A modified side plank performed from the knees, offering a more accessible entry point than the full version while still effectively targeting the obliques and lateral core. The hip dip-and-raise pattern adds a dynamic strengthening element on top of the static hold.
The Kneeling Side Plank Raise is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
