Topic description

Lying on your side on the floor (right lateral position) with your legs bent (approximately right angle at the hips and knees). Turn your upper body so that you can grasp the spar with both hands. Now tense your core muscles and release your shoulders and upper back from the floor. Hold this position briefly and then lower your upper body again in a controlled manner. However, do not lower the upper body completely in the starting position, but maintain the tension in the abdomen at all times. The abdominal training device supports the movement.

Starting position:
- Lying on your side, upper body turned away (facing the ceiling)
- Hips and legs bent
- Hands grasping 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.
