Form tips
Avoid jerky or rapid movements. Instead, lift your chest and arms off the ground using a slow, controlled motion. This not only helps to prevent injury but also maximizes the effectiveness of the exercise by engaging the correct muscle groups.
Your head, neck, and spine should be in a straight line. Avoid lifting your head or arching your back excessively as this can lead to neck or back strain.
Breathing is a key part of any exercise, and the Floor T-Raise is no exception.
