Topic description

Lying on your back, bend your legs slightly and stand upright (feet flat on the floor). Now tense your core muscles and release your shoulders and upper back from the floor. Hold this position briefly and lower your upper body in a controlled manner. Do not lower the upper body completely to the starting position and maintain the tension in the abdomen at all times. The abdominal training device supports the movement.

Starting position:
- Supine position
- Legs bent, feet flat on the floor
- Hands gripping the bars

Finishing position:
- Shoulders and upper back completely released from the floor
- Hold the top position briefly

Attention:
Do not grip the abdominal muscle training device too tightly, it only has a supporting effect (at most, stretch out your hands and only touch the device with your outstretched fingers). Always keep your head in a neutral position on the pillow.
