Planks or side planks, or even push-ups, from the knees are frequently recommended, but I rather see someone use an inclined version of these movements instead of shortening the lever arm by doing them from the knees. The "feel" of the movement is really different when you do them from the knees vs from the feet.
The book shows front planks with your elbows on a bench (p. 212). You can do side planks that way too. And just like the 45-degree push-up (rather than a push-up from the knees), it'll get you to the full version sooner.
