Today, I’ve going to show you a very cool new core exercise, which I’m using a lot these days!
A friend of mine, Tyler Joyce DPT, owner the Neurac Institute and instructor for RedCord USA, demonstrated a version of this exercise using the RedCord therapy apparatus. I liked the exercise concept so much that I developed my own version, which as you’ll see in the videos below, can be done using only a pad and a bench. I’ve named it “The Hands Free Side Plank.”
