Topic description

Stomach position, grasp a dumbbell with both hands (back of each hand pointing to the respective side), these are placed on the floor at chest height, the arms are bent accordingly. From this position, stretch your arms to push your upper body away from the floor, your knees are also no longer in contact with the floor and your slightly bent legs are only supported on the tips of your feet. With a small jump forwards, bring your legs approximately shoulder-width apart towards the dumbbells (place your feet slightly inwards behind the dumbbells on each side). The upper body is tilted forwards as the outstretched arms are still holding the weights on the floor (back as straight as possible). Now straighten your legs, push your hips forwards and raise your upper body to a standing position. The arms remain stretched and point sideways along the body towards the floor in the end position so that the weights are approximately at hip height. Then lower your upper body back down to place the weights on the floor again with your arms straight (with the tips of your feet slightly offset outwards). Support your upper body with your arms (hands gripping the dumbbells) to perform a two-legged jump backwards so that you reach the push-up position. Lower your upper body back to the starting position in the prone position (bend your arms, hold the weights next to your chest, knees on the floor, straight legs resting on the tips of your feet).

Lighten:
Less/no weight.

Harden:
Execute a push-up instead of lowering your body to the prone position; more weight.

Stomach position, grasp a dumbbell with both hands (back of each hand pointing to the respective side), these are placed on the floor at chest height, the arms are bent accordingly. From this position, stretch your arms to push your upper body away from the floor, your knees are also no longer in contact with the floor and your slightly bent legs are only supported on the tips of your feet (push-up position). With a small jump forwards, bring your legs more than shoulder-width apart towards the dumbbells (place your feet slightly outwards behind the dumbbells on each side). The upper body is tilted forwards as the outstretched arms are still holding the weights on the floor (back as straight as possible). Now lift the weights off the floor and move them backwards between your legs to the height of your buttocks with your arms stretched out. Now swing the weights overhead by first holding the dumbbells in front of your chest with your arms bent, and from there push your arms out vertically upwards. The upright stance with arms stretched upwards and legs slightly bent corresponds to the end position. Then bend your arms while standing upright to bring the weights to your shoulders. Tilt your upper body forwards, stretch your arms and place the dumbbells on the floor between your legs (slightly in front of your feet) (legs slightly bent). Support your upper body with your arms (hands gripping the dumbbells), jump backwards with both legs so that you can assume the starting position in the prone position in one smooth movement (bend your arms, lower your upper body, hold the weights next to your chest, knees on the floor, straight legs resting on the tips of your feet).

Lighten:
Less/no weight.

Harden:
Execute a push-up instead of lowering the body to the prone position; more weight.

Topic description

This exercise combines a one-armed burpee with a dumbbell and an overhead press. To do this, place a dumbbell between your feet, squat down and grasp the dumbbell with one hand. Jump or step backwards into a push-up position (optional: your chest briefly touches the floor). Bring your feet back to the front, explosively drive the dumbbell upwards from the hips, fully extend your arm overhead (snatch/press movement), and lower the weight in a controlled manner. Either switch sides after the desired number of repetitions or transfer the weight to the other hand as you lower it.

Attention:
Keep your back neutral during the lift; maintain core tension; generate power from your hips and legs (do not just push with your arms); keep the barbell close to your body; stabilise the overhead position (arm extended, shoulder engaged, do not push your ribs forward); lower the barbell calmly and in a controlled manner.
Common mistakes: Hunching the back when lifting the barbell; pulling with the arms too early instead of extending the hips; unstable shoulders overhead; landing with feet too close together or asymmetrically; loss of core tension during the burpee; weight too heavy (technique breaks down); rotation in the upper body due to uneven load.

Lighten:
Do the exercise without the push-up; step your feet back into the push-up position instead of jumping; use a lighter dumbbell; split the movement (do the burpee first, then the dumbbell snatch separately); instead of lifting the weight overhead, lift it only to shoulder height.

Harden:
Heavier dumbbell; incorporate push-ups; switch hands with every repetition; double devil press with two dumbbells, deficit version (dumbbell on a raised platform); combine with an additional squat or thruster.

Lie on your stomach in front of a wall with the tips of your feet exactly in the corner between the floor and the wall and your arms bent next to your shoulders (palms on the floor, elbows pointing towards the wall). Extend your arms to push your upper body away from the floor, then walk your feet upwards along the wall (alternately moving one leg upwards), at the same time as moving your legs upwards, alternately move your arms towards the wall (walking with your arms). The legs and arms are moved until the handstand position can be assumed (full body stretch, arms stretched out in a high position). Then perform the movement sequence in reverse order to return from the handstand to the prone position.

Attention:
Move your legs and arms in a controlled manner.

Lighten:
Break off the exercise before the handstand position and return to the prone position (move your legs less far upwards).

Harden:
Additional weight (on your feet).

The legs and arms are moved until the handstand position can be assumed (full body stretch, arms stretched in a high position). Once in the handstand position, the hands are moved to the side a few times (running sideways with the hands) before the sequence of movements is repeated in reverse order to return from the handstand to the prone position. For the next repetition, move your arms to the other side to return to the starting point of the exercise.

Attention:
Move your legs and arms in a controlled manner.

Lighten:
Stop the exercise before the handstand position and return to the prone position (move your legs less far upwards); perform the exercise without moving your arms.

Harden:
Additional weight (on your feet).

Topic description

Lie face down across the exercise ball and move your hands forwards until only your shins or the tops of your feet are resting on the ball. Your hands should be placed shoulder-width apart, directly beneath your shoulder joints, with your arms firmly on the floor. Your body is in a stable plank position, parallel to the floor. Actively press your shoulders away from the floor (no sagging between the shoulder blades). Your abdominal and gluteal muscles are firmly engaged, and your head remains in line with your spine. The knees remain fully extended throughout the entire movement. Using a powerful hip flexion and core engagement, pull the pelvis vertically upwards towards the ceiling so that the body forms an inverted ‘V’ (roof position). As you do this, the ball rolls forwards to your toes, whilst your head moves between your upper arms. Briefly stabilise your position at the highest point, then roll back to the starting position in a controlled manner with your legs straight.

Attention:
When rolling back into extension, the torso sags and falls into an uncontrolled hollow back; the shoulders drift backwards instead of remaining stable and centred over the wrists; the movement is forced out of the legs with momentum, rather than being guided by the trunk and hip flexor muscles; the arms buckle or the shoulder blades flare upwards (instability in the shoulder girdle); the roll-out should only be performed as far back as the abdominal muscles can keep the pelvis stable in a horizontal position. Stop the movement as soon as the lumbar spine sags.

Lighten:
Hold a static plank with your shins on the ball (without rolling); place the ball further under your thighs/hips (the shorter lever makes it considerably easier to pull yourself up); Perform the movement over a range of just a few centimetres; carry out the movement on the floor with sliding pads or towels under your feet (this reduces the risk of the ball tipping over).

Harden:
Hold the pike or tuck position at the top for 2–3 seconds; perform on one leg: One foot rests on the ball, whilst the free leg remains extended in the air in line with the body: at the end of the roll-back into the extended position, incorporate a clean push-up on the floor.

The movement is practised as follows:
The foot at the back in the direction of movement pushes off the floor and the foot at the front is placed 10-15cm in front. The rear foot is then pulled back so that the original starting position is restored. The movement is dynamic, gliding light-footedly over the floor. The movement can also be performed with small flat jumps. It is important to ensure that the movement is always practised in combination with the boxing position.

  • Pass the ball between the legs every few steps or at each step (from left to right hand and vice versa)

Additional tasks:

On a signal from the sports director (e.g. 1-4 whistles)e.g. 1-4 whistles), the participants perform various defined exercises. Here is a possible selection of exercises that can be assigned to the signals. During the execution of an additional exercise, the sports leader can announce the next form of ball handling.

  • Four jumps over the ball (both legs)
  • Touch the ball with the buttocks
  • Touch the ball with the chest
  • Wall pass
  • Stop/put the ball down and look for a free ball
  • Swap the ball with another participant
  • Tap the ball alternately with the tips of the feet (3 times each)
  • Stop the ball, Sprint to a defined place and back to a free ball (variant: The sports leader removes one or more balls during the sprints. Anyone who can no longer find a ball performs an additional task such as stretch jumps or push-ups).
