Starting Position
- lay your chest on a table or a weight bench
- adhere tight to the leading end of the table
- the hips protrude the other edge of the table and are moveable
- stretch out your legs and put the tiptoes to the ground
Correct Execution
- keep the body stable and guide the stretched out legs up until they are parallel to the ground
- this is a slow motion, do not gain momentum
- avoid a hollow-back, otherwise your lumbar spine is strained too much
- let the feet sink down again, but do not rest them on the ground
- repeat the exercise several times for an effective strength workout
tip for the workout
- to make the exercise more difficult, you can clamp a dumbbell between your lower legs
