Lowering and raising the upper body while kneeling

Partner work

1 trainee & 1 helper ► Note change of position
(= double the time required; for lesson planner see Organisation Kraft: Info button Execution)

Exerciser: Kneeling with the upper body upright (approx. 90 degrees at the knee joint, no sitting on the heels) and arms folded across the chest. Tilt your upper body forwards as far as possible and straighten up again (movement in the knee joint).
Partner: Hold the legs of the active participant.

Attention:
Straight back.

Lighten:
Just hold the position (the more upright the position, the easier); arms point backwards to the side of the body.

Harden:
Place your arms at an angle next to your head or hold them up; hold additional weight (on your chest).

Variant:
Slowly tilt your upper body forwards as far as possible until you support any fall with your hands.
