Raising and lowering the upper body in supine position

Individual work

Lying on your back, arms bent (palms facing forwards), elbows supporting the slightly raised upper body (elbows at shoulder height), legs bent with heels on the floor, raise and lower the upper body by pushing the elbows backwards.

Attention:
Do not fully lower the upper body.

Lighten:
Lift your upper body less (push your elbows back less); only hold the position with your upper body slightly raised (without raising and lowering your upper body).

Harden:
Additional weight (on your chest).
