How to do it
Place your feet in the TRX foot cradles and start in a plank or push-up position with your hands on the floor. Brace your core and let your feet roll back to extend your body into a long line, then pull through your abs to return your hips and body to the start.
- 1Deep tension through your abs holding the torso tight
- 2The working core controlling the extension out and back
- 3Your hips and spine staying in one line, no sagging
Common mistakes
- Letting your lower back arch or hips drop as you extend
- Using momentum to yank yourself back in
- Going so far out that you lose core control
