Move on focus: Twisted elbow plank with dips

Here’s a move that really targets the oblique (the muscles on the sides). It may feel uncomfortable at first. It is a little of an awkward position. When I first started doing twisted moves, I didn’t like  them. But I have grown to love them because the work the sides so well…that muffin top area, love handles, etc. An area hard to work on but not impossible to improve.

Here is how you do the move - 
Start in elbow plank position. Lift up one arm, twisting the body into side elbow plank. Foot of top leg is staggered in front of the foot of the bottom leg. NOT moving the position of the feet, lower the arm in the air back to starting position where elbows are directly under the shoulders. This is a twisted elbow plank. Lower hips to the ground, trying to touch the ground, and bring them back to twisted elbow plank position.
