Topic description

Bend and stretch your arms in the push-up position (lower and raise your upper body). In the deep push-up position, place your elbows at the side of your body (do not move your elbows outwards). Back in the push-up position, move your hands onto the top of the vaulting box one after the other and then step down to place your hands on the floor again. Start the exercise combination again, changing the starting position for each movement of the arms.

Attention:
No hollow back, tense torso, elbows bent approx. 45 degrees from the body ("A" shape with the arms), shoulders are fixed and pressed down towards the hips.

Lighten:
Supports in place (possibly raise arms slightly alternately). Alternate raising your arms slightly); replace moving your arms to the top of the box with another exercise, e.g. touching your shoulders crosswise alternately with your hand in a push-up position or stretching your arm forwards.

Harden:
Higher object (e.g. additional swing box element or long bench); additional weight (on the back); unstable surface for the legs.

Variant:
In push-up position on the swing box element or after each push-up, alternately bring the hand crosswise to the shoulder (shoulder tap) or stretch out forwards.
