Topic description

Underarm support (the outstretched legs and upper body practically form a line, the legs are supported on the tips of the toes and the upper body on the forearms, the forearms lie flat on the floor parallel to each other, the upper arms are vertical), move the upper body forwards and backwards by changing the angle between the forearm and upper arm.

Attention:
Head, torso, hips and knees practically form a line (do not stretch your buttocks upwards or let them sag, tense your stomach).

Lighten:
Knees on the floor (kneeling shift).

Harden:
Additional weight (on the back); unstable support for the legs and/or arms possible.

Material

1 weight vest/weight disc/sandbag ► make the exercise more difficult (additional weight)
1 ball/1-2 balancing cushions/balance board ► make the exercise more difficult (unstable surface)

Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in one hand (left), the other hand resting loosely at your side or on your hip, shoulders back, chest out, and looking straight ahead. Slowly lean your upper body towards the side of the dumbbell without pushing your hips backwards, feeling a gentle stretch in your oblique abdominal muscles, then return to the starting position in a controlled manner. Breathing: Exhale as you straighten up, inhale as you bend to the side.

Attention:
Do not tilt your hips backwards, avoid jerky movements, do not twist your torso (your upper body should lean to the side), do not tense your neck (keep your head in line with your spine).

Lighten:
Less or no weight; knees slightly bent (takes the strain off the lower back and makes it easier to balance); smaller movements (minimal side-to-side tilt); lean against the wall (stabilises the back and hips).

Harden:
Add more weight; stand on a raised or unstable surface (greater balance required); hold the final position for slightly longer and/or slow down the pace.

Material

1 dumbbell/weight plate

1 Step/Box/Balance Pad ► Make the exercise more challenging (raised or unstable surface)

Topic description

While seated, place an elasticated band around the (left) thigh and grasp the band with the (left) hand, with the back of the hand pointing downwards. The arm holding the band is bent so that the upper arm is against the body and the lower arm is pointing forwards (90 degree angle at the elbow joint). The other (right) arm fixes the training arm by holding the forearm at the elbow. From this position, rotate the arm inwards (pronation) so that the back of the hand is pointing upwards in the end position.

Attention:
The movement only takes place in the forearm, the upper arm remains stable.

Lighten:
Select a rubber band with less resistance.

Harden:
Select a rubber band with greater resistance.

Material

1 mini-band
1 seating option (e.g. chair, plyo box or vaulting box)

Stand upright in front of a wall, shoulder-width apart (facing the wall), with arms bent (approximately 90 degrees at the elbow joint), holding a medicine ball in front of the body with both hands slightly below chest height. The upper body is turned/rotated as far as possible to the left side (gaze follows the movement), while the legs and arms remain stable (lift the heel on the opposite side - right - as far as possible). Then swing the upper body back to the starting position and at the same time throw the ball (sideways) against the wall. Catch the ball and return to the starting position to restart the exercise.

Attention:
Tighten your stomach, keep your back straight, your pelvis remains in place and only your upper body moves.

Lighten:
Smaller movements (less rotation); lighter ball.

Harden:
Additional weight (on the arms); heavier ball; unstable base.

Topic description

Stand upright in front of a wall (facing the wall horizontally, left shoulder closer to the wall), with arms bent (approximately 90 degrees at the elbow joint), hold a medicine ball in front of the body with both hands slightly below chest height. The upper body is turned/rotated to the side towards the wall in a swinging motion (gaze accompanies the movement) until the arms are facing the wall and the ball is thrown against the wall at the same time. During the rotation movement, the legs and arms remain stable (lift the heel of the foot furthest from the wall at most). Catch the ball and bring your upper body back to the starting position.

Attention:
Tighten your stomach, keep your back straight, your pelvis remains in place and only your upper body moves.

Lighten:
Smaller range of motion by pointing the stance more towards the wall (less rotation); lighter ball.
