Lowering and raising the upper body while standing

Individual work

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold the gymnastics pole on your shoulders behind your head. Your feet are in the loops, your knees are slightly bent and your upper body is leaning forwards with a straight back. Bend your upper body and roll back up to the starting position.

Attention:
The pelvis remains stable and should not move, so try to straighten your upper body vertebra by vertebra.

Lighten:
Choose less strong elastic bands; roll up the elastic bands less.

Harden:
Choose stronger elastic bands; roll up the elastic bands more.

Variation:
Hold the gymnastics bar at knee height with outstretched arms instead of on your shoulders.
