Body Saw

The step-child of the roll out, in this version you gently rock back and forth at the shoulder. You'll need a slideboard, valslides, or a towel on a hardwood floor. I prefer these on the TRX, as the motion is smoother, but it can be tricky to get your feet in the handles. 

Coach Stevo's Top Tips

  • Pack your shoulders.
  • Slow and smooth.

 

Slideboard

TRX (Pike is optional)

Leg Curl

Leg Curls work the back of the legs and butt. You'll need a smooth surface like a slideboard, valslides, or just stocking feet on hardwood floor. Most beginners should just do the eccentric phase of this exercise, as is demonstrated in the video. These can be done in a TRX, but I do not like the instability of a TRX. Stick to the floor.

Coach Stevo's Top Tips

  • Bridge and lock down your core.
  • Engage the glutes hard. 
  • Lower your butt down while your legs extend in a smooth motion.
