Sagging around the waist and sides is, in general, linked to total body fat: the more fat you have, the more it gathers around the core.
Flaccidity in the abdomen is both unhealthy and irritating. It can raise the risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and other conditions. This post will show you how to combat lateral fat with exercises. So, go for it!
PLANK ON SIDE
To begin, lie on your right side with your legs stretched out and your feet and hips resting on the floor.
Then, as shown in the figure, place your right elbow squarely under your shoulder, engage your core muscles, and lift your hips and knees off the floor.
You must hold on for as long as possible. Then go back to your starting location. Then repeat on the opposite side.
