How to perform

Start in a forearm plank, elbows under shoulders, body in a straight line. Engage your core and maintain a neutral spine. Shift forward, moving shoulders past elbows, then reverse by pulling with your toes, bringing shoulders behind elbows. Continue this sawing motion.

Tips

Keep your core engaged to prevent lower back arching. Perform controlled movements. Maintain stable shoulders. Breathe steadily. Reduce range of motion if lower back strain occurs.
