Technique
How to perform Suspension Trainer Body Saw
- Place both feet in the suspension cradles and take a forearm-plank position with the elbows beneath the shoulders.
- Keep the knees extended and maintain one controlled line through the trunk and hips.
- Move the body backward so the shoulders travel behind the elbows without letting the lower back sag.
- Draw the body forward to the starting plank by reversing the shoulder motion while keeping the abdomen braced.
- Repeat within the distance you can control without folding at the hips or drawing the knees toward the chest.
- Padding beneath the forearms is optional.
