General And Specifics
- you can also do this fitness exercise with a broomstick, but it is more intensive and effective if you use a barbell or an ez bar
- alternatively you can stand during the exercise like shown in the video below
- this is an excellent cardio workout method
- besides the muscles named above the Rotator cuff is required also
Starting Position
- take one of the named tools with both hands a bit wider than shoulder width
- sit down on a chair (legs are rectangular) or a weight bench, so that you can put your legs on the seat area
- you can use two chairs to rest the stretched out legs as if you were kayaking
- your back is straight, the upper body tilted forward a bit
- hold the tool in front of your body, the arms are bent a little
Correct Execution
- move the arms to one side while you stretch them out
- if you move to the left, the left hand is below the right one
- the right hand is in height of the lower chest
- if you like, turn the upper body with the movement a bit
- come back to the starting position and immediately go on to the other side and do the same
- do not change the position of your hands
- do this often for an effective workout
