Exercise Description

The valslide body saw exercise builds rock-solid core strength and stability. It teaches your abs to resist movement while your body fights gravity.

How To

1. Start in a plank position with your feet on valslides and hands flat on the floor 2. Keep your body straight from head to heels, engaging your core throughout the valslide body saw movement 3. Slowly slide your feet backward by pushing through your forearms, extending your body longer 4. Hold the extended position for 2-3 seconds, feeling the stretch in your abs 5. Pull your feet back to starting position using your core muscles to complete the valslide body saw rep

Form Tips

• Keep your hips level throughout the entire valslide body saw movement - don't let them sag or pike up • Move slowly and controlled - this isn't a race, quality beats speed every time • Breathe steadily and don't hold your breath during the challenging parts of the exercise • Start with small movements and gradually increase your range as you get stronger

Common Mistakes

• Letting your hips drop toward the floor, which puts stress on your lower back during valslide body saw • Moving too fast and losing control of the sliding motion, reducing the exercise effectiveness • Not engaging your core properly before starting the valslide body saw movement, leading to poor form
