Topic description

Stand with your hips wide apart, legs slightly bent and arms supported on your hips, jump forwards with both legs. Then, in an inverted four-footed stance (chest facing upwards, body supported on the hands and feet, fingertips pointing forwards), shift back to the starting point. When moving on all fours, the arms are almost fully extended, the legs are bent and the movement is in the direction of the arms.

Attention:
Always keep your knees behind the tips of your feet when jumping, pause briefly with your knees bent after each landing.

Lighten:
Bend your knees less (greater angle) when jumping and landing; jump less far forwards.

Harden:
Bend your knees more (smaller angle) when jumping and landing; jump with your arms in front of you; additional weight.

Variation:
Don't keep your arms supported or in front of you, but actively support the jump with your arms (with momentum).

Topic description

From the lying position (supine position), you move through various intermediate positions to the upright position, whereby the main focus is on holding the weight (dumbbell or kettlebell) in one hand overhead in a stable position and always working with a stretched back.
As a starting position, the weight is held in a supine position with one arm (left) almost outstretched at chest height (arm pointing upwards), the leg (left) on the same side where the weight is held is bent (foot placed on the floor). Firstly, the shoulders are lifted using the forearm of the arm resting on the floor (right). Then rest the free arm on the hand to lift the whole upper body away from the floor. The hips are then pushed upwards and the outstretched leg (right) is pulled under the body and brought backwards into a kneeling position (half kneeling position with one hand resting on the floor). The arm that is currently still supporting you (right) is then finally lifted off the floor to a half-kneeling position with the upper body upright. A lunge is used to assume the final standing position. Reverse the sequence of movements to return to the starting position lying on the floor.

Starting position:
- Supine position
- Leg bent and positioned on the side of the weight
- Weight held in front of you with one arm almost straight (arm pointing firmly upwards)
- Abdominal and gluteal muscles are tensed
- Gaze is directed towards the weight

Final position:
- Stand upright with a straight back
- Stabilise the weight overhead with an almost outstretched arm

Attention:
This exercise places extremely high demands on mobility and stability, which is why it is only suitable for advanced exercisers. Distribute the weight over the entire foot during the movement sequence

Stand upright, facing the chair. At the same time, tilt your upper body forwards (keep your upper body horizontal to the floor) and raise your practically stretched free leg up to the height of your buttocks. To keep your balance better, support your upper body with your arms on the seat of the chair. In the end position, the leg and upper body are roughly in line. The position in the shape of the letter "T" is also known as the standing balance. Then raise the upper body and lower the leg back to the starting position. Switch sides after each execution (change the supporting leg/playing leg).

Attention:
Keep your back straight at all times (tense your torso), distribute your weight over the entire foot (supporting leg).

From a 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 back in front of the body in a flowing movement so that the momentum can be utilised to return to the standing position. Once in the standing position, immediately perform a stretch jump into the air, landing in the starting position to begin the exercise again.

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

Lighten:
Arms support the movement more clearly (more momentum); lower height during the stretch jump (or just straighten the upper body).

Harden:
Additional weight.
