Reverse Snow Angel

General And Specifics

• do not underestimate this fitness exercise, although abs and core have a stabilizing function, they are very well trained, too
• only do this exercise, if you are well-trained, because the lumbar spine area is strained by lifting up arms and legs at the same time

Starting Position

• lay your front side on the floor
• stretch out the arms to the front
• the palms point to the floor
• the legs are stretched out, the toes on the floor

Correct Execution

• lift chest, arms and legs slightly, they hover across the floor
• move the arms to the pelvis in a bow and the legs apart
• the limbs do not have any contact to the floor
• come back controlled to the starting position
• now you can rest the limbs on the ground for a moment
• begin with the next rep right away

tip for the workout

• if your floor is smooth, you also can put towels below your arms or legs to do the sliding variation of this exercise
• the focus is on the glutes, adductors and abductors then
