General And Specifics
- you need a smooth ground you can slide on well so that you can do this exercise easily (it also works a little less on the floor with paper plates below the feet)
Starting Position
- place two folded towels (or two washclothes or Valslides) hip width on the ground
- knee with your back in front of it and bring your toes on them
- go on your forearms
- brace your body, lift your hip and stretch out your legs backwards
- your body is in one line now
Correct Execution
- hold your body stable in the plank position and keep the hip up
- meanwhile you open the legs as much as possible (abduction)
- your feet on the towels are sliding outwards to the sides
- hold the final position for a short moment
- bring the legs back together then (adduction)
- repeat the motions several times
tip for the workout
- you impede the fitness exercise a bit if you stretch out your arms (see video)
