General And Specifics
- this exercise combines fitness and stretching, besides the obliques the stability of the shoulders is trained
Starting Position
- starting position is the Side Plank
- lay on the ground sideways, the lower arm supports your body
- the lower arm is bent, the forearm is right below the shoulder
- rest the free arm on your body
- hold the head in extension to the spine
- the legs are stretched and one above the other (you can stagger the legs for more stability)
Correct Execution
- lift the hip, until your body forms a line from head to heels
- guide the free arm above the head in a bow and lift the hip as much as possible, without the feet and the forearm moving
- avoid tilting back or forth and do not let the hip sink down
- hold this position for 20 to 30 seconds stable
- afterwards, guide hip and arm back to the starting position
- switch sides and do the same
tip for the workout
- you can also do the exercise in plank position, this makes it a little harder
