Topic description

Stand upright, slightly turned to the side (right leg in front), arms bent and held high (elbows pointing downwards at chest height), extend the rear (left) arm forwards (hand edge downwards) and simultaneously turn the upper body (to the right), rotate the upper body as far as possible (outstretched arm 90 degrees to the front standing leg) and return to the starting position.

Attention:
Always keep your arms raised (hands at shoulder height).

Lighten:
smaller movements (less rotation).

Harden:
additional weight (on the arm(s), hold in the hand(s) or hold with both hands and stretch/flex both arms at the same time).

Variant:
Hold an additional weight (e.g. weight disc or dumbbell) in both hands and extend/flex the arms simultaneously while rotating the upper body.

Push-up position (high support, face/look down), extend one leg under the body (crosswise) to the other side. Switch sides after each exercise.

Attention:
Stay stable (tense your stomach).

Lighten:
Just hold the basic position (push-up position); rotate your upper body less.

Harden:
Additional weight on the legs; unstable support for the arms.

Variant:
Underarm support (instead of push-up position).

Material

Side support with outstretched (left) arm, the other arm bent and the hand placed next to the nearer ear, the body weight is supported only by the foot of the upper leg (right) and the arm (left), the other leg (left) is held slightly raised in front of the foot placed on the floor. Tighten the lower leg (left) and at the same time rotate/turn the upper body so that the elbows and knees are brought together crosswise. Then return to the starting position (straighten the leg again, rotate/turn the upper body back out).

Attention:
Head, torso, hips and knees practically form a line in the starting position (pelvis does not tilt backwards or forwards), keep the shoulder above the elbow; do not fully lower the free leg.

Lighten:
Lower the free leg (without bringing the elbow and knee together); lower the free leg after each movement; only hold the starting position.

Harden:
Additional weight (for the free leg).

Variation:
Lower foot placed on the floor with the outside instep and the upper leg brought to the elbow (free leg).

Topic description

Sitting with your legs bent and arms stretched forwards, first push off and stretch your legs, then pull your arms towards your head with your upper body leaning slightly backwards. Return to the starting position in exactly the opposite way: first stretch your arms, then move your upper body forwards and finally pull your legs forwards. In theory, the rowing movement sequence sounds complicated, but many of the individual movement sequences are already performed correctly unconsciously:

Starting position:

  • Upper body bent forwards towards the thighs.

  • Back muscles relaxed.

  • Lower back straight, upper back (trapezius muscle) may make a slight hump.

  • Arms stretched (triceps remain relaxed).

  • Tummy muscles slightly tensed.

Starting the pull-through:

  • Legs lead the movement by stretching them.

  • At the same time as stretching your legs, slightly tense your lower back and bring it into a straight position.

  • The phase ends when your legs are almost fully extended.

Middle phase of the pull-through:

  • From this phase, the upper body also comes into play.

  • The arms and back now dictate the movement, with both parts of the body being pulled backwards almost simultaneously (between the chest and belly button). The strength comes from the back and not the arms.

  • The abdominal muscles and thigh muscles remain tensed the whole time.

  • The phase ends with the upper body leaning slightly backwards and the arms slightly raised. The back shoulder is already working slightly.

Final move:

  • Pull your arms completely towards your body.

  • The upper body leans back a little further in the same move. The back shoulder is now even more involved.

  • Tighten all the muscles involved (buttocks, thighs, abdomen, arms and shoulders).

Rolling:

  • Arms lead the way.

  • Stretch your arms forwards again. The upper body and legs follow the arms.

  • The buttocks pull the seat forwards.

  • The phase ends in the starting position.

Topic description

Sitting with your legs bent and arms stretched forwards, first push off and stretch your legs, then pull your arms towards your head with your upper body leaning slightly backwards. Return to the starting position in exactly the opposite way: first stretch your arms, then move your upper body forwards and finally pull your legs forwards. In theory, the rowing movement sequence sounds complicated, but many of the individual movement sequences are already performed correctly unconsciously:

Starting position:

  • Upper body bent forwards towards the thighs.

  • Back muscles relaxed.

  • Lower back straight, upper back (trapezius muscle) may make a slight hump.

  • Arms stretched (triceps remain relaxed).

  • Tummy muscles slightly tensed.

Starting the pull-through:

  • Legs lead the movement by stretching them.

  • At the same time as stretching your legs, slightly tense your lower back and bring it into a straight position.

  • The phase ends when your legs are almost fully extended.

Middle phase of the pull-through:

  • From this phase, the upper body also comes into play.

  • The arms and back now dictate the movement, with both parts of the body being pulled backwards almost simultaneously (between the chest and belly button). The strength comes from the back and not the arms.

  • The abdominal muscles and thigh muscles remain tensed the whole time.

  • The phase ends with the upper body leaning slightly backwards and the arms slightly raised. The back shoulder is already working slightly.

Final move:

  • Pull your arms completely towards your body.

  • The upper body leans back a little further in the same move. The back shoulder is now even more involved.

  • Tighten all the muscles involved (buttocks, thighs, abdomen, arms and shoulders).

Rolling:

  • Arms lead the way.

  • Stretch your arms forwards again. The upper body and legs follow the arms.

  • The buttocks pull the seat forwards.

  • The phase ends in the starting position.
