Starting Position
- let your arms hang down at the side of your body
- stand in front of a stool, a weight bench or another stable alternative without a back rest
- the tool should not be higher than your knees, otherwise your joints will be strained too much
Correct Execution
- place one foot on the tool
- the other foot stays on the ground at first
- push yourself up with the foot which is on the tool
- your body remains straight
- only the legs are moving
- the other leg on the ground does not support the movement
- the which was on the ground rises up, passes the other and stops at an angle of 90 degrees
- after that you turn back to the starting position
- repeat the exercise with the same leg or switch the legs
tip for the workout
- pick up two dumbbells, two kettlebells, a medicine or put on backpack to impede the exercise
