Instructions
Attach the suspension trainer to a secure anchor point above you.
Place your feet into the handles of the suspension trainer, ensuring that they are secure.
Position your body in a plank position with your forearms and elbows on the ground. Your elbows should be aligned under your shoulders, and your body should form a straight line from your head to your heels.
Brace your core and maintain a rigid body position throughout the entire movement.
Slowly push your body backward through your forearms, allowing your feet to slide back in the suspension trainer handles.
Glide back as far as possible while still maintaining a straight body line, without letting your hips sag or pike up.
Use your forearms to pull your body back to the starting plank position.
That's one repetition. Perform the desired number of reps or continue the exercise for a set period.
Remember to control the movement both in the backward phase and the return phase, keeping the core engaged at all times to support the lower back. Make sure to adjust the difficulty by how far back you glide; the further back you go, the more challenging it becomes.
