How to perform it

Use controlled form through a full range of motion, bracing your core throughout.

Muscles worked

The Side Jackknife primarily targets your Abdominals. You'll need body only.

Make it count toward your goal

Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Side Jackknife slots into a plan built for your goal — sets and reps set in the plan, logged in two taps, and folded into a weekly check-in that adjusts your calories, macros and step goal.
