Push-up ► push up

Individual work

Push-up position, support your upper body with your hands on a balance cushion, bend and stretch your arms (lower and raise your upper body).

Attention:
Do not hollow back, tense your torso, bend your elbows at an angle of approx. 45° from your upper body ("A" shape with your arms), fix your shoulders and press them down towards your hips.

Lighten:
Just hold the starting position; lower your upper body less (barely bend your arms).

Harden:
Additional weight (on the shoulders); legs on an unstable surface.

Variation:
Replace the balance cushion with a balance hemisphere.
