Rotation of the upper body while standing ► standing upper body rotation

Partner work

The two participants stand approx. 1 metre apart (facing in the same direction), one participant holds the gymnastics pole in the middle (pole vertical), the other participant holds the elastic loops in front of their own body at stomach height, their elbows are bent and remain fixed to their body. Both exercisers turn outwards (away from each other) simultaneously against the resistance of the elastic bands.

Attention:
Keep the hips straight; only the upper body turns; movement comes from the torso (not the arms).

Lighten:
Select less strong elastic bands, roll up the elastic bands less or keep a shorter distance from your partner.

Harden:
Select stronger elastic bands, roll up the elastic bands more or keep a greater distance from your partner.
