Indoor cycling
Power
Individual work
Indoor cycling involves cycling indoors, whereby the workout on the indoor bike is even slightly more efficient than cycling outside. Whether for burning fat, strengthening the cardiovascular system, ergo for health or for the muscles, training with the indoor bike offers a holistic workout and entails hardly any risks.
Variant:
Choose a constant basic speed or vary the intensity by constantly changing speed (interval training).

Squat jump in push-up position ► plank jump
Power
Individual work
Push-up position (high support, face/look down), bend your legs during the jump (bring your knees between your arms) and stretch back out to the starting position for the next jump.
Attention:
Keep your upper body stable in the starting position (tense your stomach).
Lighten:
Just hold the basic position (push-up position); smaller jumps (bring your knees less forwards).
Harden:
Additional weight (on the legs); unstable base (for the arms).
2 weight cuffs ► to make the exercise more difficult (additional weight)
1 balance cushion/balance board ► to make the exercise more difficult (unstable surface)
Climbing on the rope
Power
Individual work
The rope is climbed up to the mark, with the S-wrap and J-hook techniques being the most common climbing methods. In the S-wrap technique, you grab the rope with your hands (close together) as high up as possible, keeping the rope between your thighs. The rope is then wrapped around the weak leg. The rope practically runs once around the calf and finally over the foot further down (S-shape). With the other (strong) foot, step on the rope that has been placed on the weak foot and lock it. Support yourself with the tips of your toes to grab the rope again with your hands (one after the other), preferably at the highest point. Now let go of the rope with the foot clamp grip and pull your legs upwards so that your knees and elbows are almost at the same height. The rope can then be locked again with the feet as described above. With the J-hook technique, you stand next to the rope at the start. Here too, you then grab the rope as high as possible. The hands are close together, which stabilises the entire body. Now pull your leg up to your chest, with the rope running to the left of your body. With the right
foot, grab the rope under the left foot and place it on the left foot to secure it. This creates an angle of over 90 degrees in the rope (J-shape). Once the rope is fixed to the foot, reach up again with your hands one at a time and the process starts all over again (you can switch sides).
Harden:
Additional weight (on the legs and/or arms).
1 climbing rope
2-4 weight cuffs/1 weight waistcoat ► Make the exercise more difficult (additional weight)
Kniebeuge ► air squat
Power
Individual work
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, bend your knees to approximately a right angle at the knee joints (buttocks approximately at knee height), arms supported on your hips or in front of you at chest height, hold the position (deep squat).
Attention:
Move your buttocks backwards, not your knees forwards. Keep your knees behind your toes. Keep your back straight at all times; a support for your heels makes the exercise easier.
Lighten:
Do not lower your buttocks too low (greater angle at the knees).
Harden:
Hold additional weight (on your shoulders, in front of you or with your arms hanging in your hands); unstable support.

Squat ► dumbbell squat
Power
Individual work
Stand shoulder-width apart, grasp weights (dumbbells/kettlebells) with one hand each, arms bent so that the elbows are practically at shoulder height and pointing forwards (hold dumbbells/kettlebells next to the respective ear). Bend your knees to approximately a right angle at the knee joints (buttocks at about knee height) and stretch back to the starting position.
Attention:
Move your buttocks backwards, not your knees forwards. Keep your knees behind your toes. Keep your back straight at all times (tense your core), distribute your weight over your entire foot, push your knees outwards (do not tilt them inwards). A support for the heels makes the exercise easier.
Lighten:
Do not lower the buttocks too low (greater angle in the knees); lighter or no weight.
Harden:
Stable support.
2 dumbbells
1 soft mat (small)/raised base ► make the exercise easier (position)
1 balance cushion/balance board ► make the exercise more difficult (unstable base)

Power
Individual work
Stand upright with closed legs (feet together), arms pointing diagonally backwards and downwards.

Then straighten your legs back to the starting position and move your arms behind your body again.
Attention:
Push your buttocks backwards, not your knees forwards. Keep your back straight at all times (keep your torso tensed), distribute your weight over your entire foot, keep your knees together during the exercise.
Lighten:
Do not lower your buttocks too low (greater angle in the knees); more support from the arms (momentum).
Harden:

1 dumbbell/kettlebell
Squat ► overhead squat
Power
Individual work
Stand upright (slightly wider than shoulder width) with the barbell overhead (arms almost straight in a V-position and held high), bend your knees and lower your buttocks as far as possible without losing stability in your back. Then push the weight back up in a controlled manner to the starting position in the standing position (straighten your legs).
Starting position:
- Stand upright, legs slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, feet pointing slightly outwards
- Barbell overhead, arms almost straight and held high (V-position)
- Abdominal and gluteal muscles are tensed
- Look straight ahead (always) in a neutral position
Finishing position:
- Knees bent
- Buttocks back, not knees forward (sitting backwards)
- Back remains straight
Attention:
This exercise requires extremely high levels of mobility and stability, which is why it is only suitable for advanced exercisers. Distribute the weight over the entire foot, push the knee outwards (do not tilt inwards).
