How to do the TRX Supine Plank

Attach the suspension straps: Securely to an elevated anchor point above head level.

Lie down on your back underneath the anchor point, and place your heels into the handles of the suspension straps, ensuring they are at an even height and securely fastened.

Position your body in a straight line, with your feet raised, aligned with the anchor point.

Press down through your palms and heal your heels into the suspender straps as you elevate your hips off the ground, engaging your core to maintain a rigid body line. Your weight should be supported by the heels and the hands with arms fully extended by your sides on the floor.

Keep your neck neutral, align it with your spine, and avoid letting your hips drop or pike up; maintain a plank position.

Hold this position for the desired duration, generally ranging from 10 seconds to several minutes based on your fitness level and core strength.

To dismount, carefully lower your hips back to the ground and remove your feet from the straps.

Safety tip: Be cautious while performing this exercise, especially if you have any pre-existing conditions affecting your back or shoulders. Always perform within your capabilities and ensure the suspension system is secure before use.
