Instructions
1. Begin in a traditional forearm plank position with your elbows under your shoulders, forearms flat on the floor, and legs extended behind you. Engage your core to keep your body in a straight line from head to heels.
2. Without raising or dropping your hips, use your forearms to slowly push your body back, shifting your weight towards your heels as much as comfortable.
3. Pause at the furthest point you can maintain control and form.
4. Use your forearm strength and core to pull your body back to the starting forearm plank position.
5. Repeat the forward and backward movement, resembling the motion of a saw, for a set number of repetitions or period of time.
6. Ensure you maintain proper form throughout the exercise, keeping the core engaged, hips aligned with the body, and breathing continuously.
Note: To maintain form and to derive the full benefit of the exercise, it's important to avoid letting your hips sag or pike up during the movement.
