TRX Body Saw

How to do it

  1. Place both feet in the TRX foot cradles and support the body in a forearm plank.
  2. Brace the core and keep the body in a straight line from shoulders to heels.
  3. Rock the body backward through the shoulders, sliding the straps away from the hands.
  4. Pull the body forward again using the shoulders and core without letting the hips rise or sag.
  5. Exhale while pushing back and inhale while pulling forward.
  6. Keep the movement small and controlled, avoiding letting the lower back arch as the straps move.
