General And Specifics
- warm-up before you start, otherwise you provoke injuries
Starting Position
- clamp a gym ball between your lower back and a wall
- push your upper body against the ball
- the legs are almost stretched out, there is a slight bending in the knees
- the feet are a bit away from your body and shoulder width apart on the ground
- you can stretch your arms out in front of your body or hold them to the hips
- lift one leg now
Correct Execution
- bend the supporting leg
- hold the balance, while your body is sinking down
- the gym ball rolls up at your back
- if your thighs are parallel to the ground, the final position is reached
- the knees should not protrude the tiptoes, to preserve the knee joints
- push yourself into the starting position again
- always hold the back straight and the head in extension to the spine
- repeat this several times, do not forget the other leg
tip for the workout
- if you want to make this exercise harder, use a filled backpack
