Plinth

This exercise strengthens the spine. Lying on your side, rest on your downside forearm, elbow, and legs. Raise your hips and straighten your body, creating a triangle with your elevated side, shoulder, and the floor (figure 4.16). Hold for 10 to 20 seconds, rest, and then repeat 3 to 5 times. Do the exercise on the opposite side.
