Transverse Plank

WHAT IT WORKS:
Transverse abdominus and obliques

A. Lie on your right side, with your right elbow under your shoulder, forearm in front for stability, and stack your left foot on your right. Raise your left arm over your head.

B. In one motion, lift your hips to create a straight line down your left side. Lower your hips a few inches off the floor; do 10 to 15 reps, then switch sides.

WHY IT WORKS:
Strong obliques improve your stability in the saddle, letting you take on hairpin corners with more control and speed.
