What Does It do: The Body Saw is a great way to hit your core without stressing your lower back. It works the anterior core by preventing the torso/lower back from extending. Another benefit you’ll get from these is increased hip stability.
How To Do It: You'll need a smooth floor, like in the group fitness room. Assume a plank position on your forearms. Place your feet on a towel. Now, with your core braced and glutes squeezed, start sliding your feet backward allowing your body to move backwards. Go as far as you can handle and slide back to the plank position. Shoot for 5-10 reps, going backward and forward. That is one set. 2-3 sets should be fine for this exercise.
**Also, I demonstrated this at home, rather than the gym, to show you how easy it can be to incorporate into your fitness program, no matter where you prefer to workout.**
