From the shoulder-width stance, move into a squat position (arms pointing diagonally downwards in front) and then drop into a supine position. The outstretched arms are extended overhead (along the floor) and the bent legs are stretched out so that they are pointing towards the sky (upwards). The arms are then brought in front of the body again in a flowing movement so that the momentum can be utilised to return to the standing position. When standing up, however, only one leg (left) is bent and placed on the floor, the other leg (right) remains practically straight and lifted off the floor. Finally, the standing leg (left) is also extended from the deep one-legged high position to reach the standing position. During the low squat position, the leg lifted off the floor (right) points horizontally forwards (low one-legged squat position) and in the subsequent upright stance points diagonally downwards forwards before the leg is brought back to the training leg (left) in the starting position in the shoulder-width stance on both legs.

Attention:
Knee of the training leg remains as centred as possible over the foot.

Lighten:
Arms support the movement more clearly (more momentum); the extended free leg is brought to the floor with the heel to support the standing up movement.

Harden:
Use less momentum (hardly any support from the arms).

Starting position, bend your knees to approximately a right angle in the knee joints (buttocks at about knee height) and at the same time bring the pistol into the contact position (including scanning), straighten your legs to return to the starting position.

Attention:
Bring 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, push your knees outwards (do not tilt them inwards). A support for the heels makes the exercise easier.

Stand upright with the weight (dumbbell or kettlebell) with one arm (left) stretched out overhead (arm almost stretched out in an upright position), bend the knees and lower the buttocks as far as possible without losing stability in the back. While lowering the upper body (bending the knees), always look towards the weight and rotate the upper body slightly. The weight is then pushed back up in a controlled manner to the starting position in the standing position (stretch your legs).

1 dumbbell/kettlebell

Starting position:
Stand upright with feet shoulder-width apart and arms slightly bent in front of the body.
Two rings are placed on the floor, one to the left and one to the right.

Movement execution:
From the upright position, lower into a squat while bringing the arms together in front of the body.
Then jump explosively upward and land on one leg inside the left ring.
Briefly stabilize, then jump back to the center line and perform another squat.
Next, jump with the other leg into the right ring and continue alternating sides.
The movement is performed rhythmically and under control, focusing on stability and a smooth landing.

Caution:
Land softly (do not let the knees fall inward); keep the core stable; upper body upright; look forward; head in a neutral position.

Lighten:
Instead of jumping, step sideways into the ring. This makes the exercise slower and gentler on the joints.

Harden:
Hold additional weights in your hands (e.g., small dumbbells or a medicine ball) during the jumps; increase jump height and speed.

2 dumbbells/kettlebells

Squat in a low position with your feet pointing slightly outwards, holding a weighted disc between your legs with your arms stretched out (disc almost horizontal to the floor). In the squat position, look forwards in a neutral position and ensure that you do not lose stability in your back. From the squat position, straighten your legs to stand upright and simultaneously bend your arms to move the upper edge of the weight disc to approximately chin height (elbows close to the body, forearms pointing upwards, disc aligned horizontally to the floor). In a flowing movement, benefit from the momentum of the legs as you stand up so that the weight disc can immediately be raised further (arms extended overhead). After pushing the weight upwards, move the disc back down to the floor in the squat position in the reverse sequence of movements.

Attention:
Distribute the weight over the entire foot, push the knees outwards (do not tilt them inwards). Always make sure your back is straight (torso tension).

Lighten:
Less weight.

Harden:

From the squat position, straighten your legs to stand upright and simultaneously bend your arms to move the upper edge of the weight disc to approximately chin height (elbows close to the body, forearms pointing upwards, disc aligned horizontally to the floor). Then extend your arms overhead (hold them up), keeping the disc horizontal to the floor. Under certain circumstances, the weight can also be pushed upwards in a fluid movement in order to benefit from the momentum of the legs (thruster). Reverse the sequence of movements to return to the starting position in the squat.

Get into a squat position with one leg on the balance half sphere, straighten your legs and simultaneously jump to the other side of the half sphere so that you change your standing leg on the sphere. With the landing movement, perform another squat and then jump back to the starting position in a fluid transition. In this way, the trainee jumps continuously from one side of the balance half-ball to the other and changes their standing leg on the training device with each exercise. In the lower squat position, the arms are bent and brought together in front of the body (landing), while the arms hang next to the body (flight phase) when the body is extended.

1 balance hemisphere

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, arms supported on your hips, bent or in front of you at chest height, bend your knees to approximately a right angle at the knee joints (buttocks at about knee height). From the deep squat position, perform a lunge backwards (upper body upright, abdomen tensed), arms again supported on the hips, folded on the chest, bent in front or at an angle, front (and back) leg bent to a right angle, two-legged jump to change leg position during the jump (move back leg forwards and front leg backwards - body position remains low), new alternating jump to return to the starting position in the lunge. Move the back leg forwards to the deep squat position before stretching the legs back to the starting position in a shoulder-width stance. After the new squat, change the side of the lunge compared to the previous version.

Attention:
When squatting, 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). When lunging, always keep the front knee behind the toe and centred over the foot. Keep your upper body as stable as possible.

Lighten:
Do not lower your buttocks too low (greater angle in the knees) when squatting. Higher basic position/lower upper body less (greater angle at the knees) when doing lunges.

Harden:
Additional weight (on the shoulders, with hanging arms or in a forward or upright position).

Variation:
Jump height can be varied: high jumps with plenty of time to change leg position or only small jumps with quick leg shifts.
