Push-up ► push up

Individual work

Push-up position with your feet on the balance board (board pointing to the side, T-position), bend and stretch your arms (lower and raise your upper body).

Attention:
Do not arch your back and bend your elbows at an angle of approx. 45° from your upper body ("A" shape with your arms). Keep your shoulders fixed and pull them down towards your hips.

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

Harder:
Additional weight (on the back); also unstable support for the arms.

Variant:
Vary the position of the hands/arms (e.g.: wide, narrow, together).
