Starting Position
- lay down with the back on the ground or a fitness mat
- put the upper arms next to your upper body
- arrange your forearms vertically to the ground
- angle your legs and place the feet on the floor or hold them in a 90 degree angle above the ground
Correct Execution
- push your upper arms down to the ground and guide the upper body up
- look upwards
- make sure that the motion comes from the arms, not from the abs
- your bottom sticks to the ground
- you can move until the whole torso is supported only by your arms
- the angle between upper arms and the ground has to remain as small as possible
- hold the position shortly, come back to the starting position and repeat the exercise
tip for the workout
- the closer you bring the thighs to your stomach, the harder the exercise
