General and Specifics

Starting Position

  • your arms are stretched out and a bit wider than shoulder width apart
  • the body forms a line
  • your feet are on their balls

Correct Execution

  • your hands do not move away
  • the knees do not touch the ground in any case
  • the thighs touch the upper half of the calves
  • push yourself back into the starting position again by putting pressure on your balls and pushing your hip forward again
  • your body is in a line again
  • do several reps for an effective leg workout
