How to do it

  1. Set your feet in the TRX straps and get into a forearm plank.
  2. Brace your core and lock your body into a straight line.
  3. Push your shoulders forward, sliding your body back over your feet.
  4. Pull yourself forward to the start, staying tight throughout.

The one cue that matters

Keep your hips level and braced, the smaller the saw the harder the burn.

Muscles worked

The TRX Bodysaw isolates the Core — no passengers. That makes it a clean tool for adding targeted core volume without extra fatigue.
