A shorter-lever version of the Copenhagen plank raise. In a side plank with your top leg on a flat bench, you bend the knee of your lower leg and lift it up toward the bench, then lower it again. The inner thigh muscles and the obliques work as in the straight-leg version, with less load on the lower leg.
Lie on your side next to a flat bench and place the inside of your top leg or foot on it, with the top knee slightly bent or straight. | Prop yourself up on the elbow of your lower arm, directly under your shoulder. | Lift your hips so that your body forms a straight line from your head to your top leg, and bend the kn...

A demanding side plank in which the top leg rests on a flat bench and the lower leg is held off the floor. The inner thigh muscles of the top leg and the obliques hold the body in a straight line, which makes it a classic exercise for the adductors and the trunk.
Lie on your side next to a flat bench and place your top leg on it, with the inside of the foot or the lower part of the leg resting on the bench. | Prop yourself up on the elbow of your lower arm, directly under your shoulder. | Lift your hips so that your body forms a straight line from your head to your top foot, an...

A dynamic version of the Copenhagen plank: you hold a side plank with the top leg resting on a flat bench and lift the lower leg up to meet it, then lower it again. The inner thigh muscles of both legs and the obliques work together, and the movement is demanding for the adductors.
