Build Unbreakable Core Strength: The Body Saw Plank
Body Saw Plank
The Suspended Body Saw Plank is an unstable moving plank progression in which the feet are placed in the D-shaped foot cradle of the Jungle Gym XT with the heels facing the handles and the forearms are in contact with the floor. Position yourself so that the handles are directly below the anchor of the attachment. The Body Saw Plank starting position is exactly the same set up as the suspended front plank.
how to perform a Body Saw-Plank
Initiate the exercise by positioning your elbows directly under your shoulders. Extend your knees away from the ground, maintaining a neutral spine by forming a straight line from ear to ankle. Slowly push your body away from your forearms until your ears are vertically in line with your elbows. Return to the starting position by slowly pulling your body towards your forearms until your elbows are directly under your shoulders. Repeat for the designated repetitions. Do not allow your shoulders to extend beyond your elbows at the return of each repetition. If you cannot maintain hip stability or neutral alignment, end the exercise. Start with 5 repetitions and work up to 10 repetitions.
