Standing Saw
Targets: Back, abs, obliques, inner thighs, and hamstrings
- Stand tall with feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, arms extended out to sides at shoulder level.
- Keeping lower body still, rotate torso to right, twisting head and arms with trunk.
Do not do the standing saw exercise. Spine specialists now know that bending over (spine flexion) and rotating is how you cause tears to the outer portion (annulus fibrosis) of you intervertebral disks. This is a very dangerous exercise which can cause bulging or herniated disks. Who ever put this exercise up on this website needs to go back to school and get educated about spine safe exercises.
