| Suspension Training Exercise For Abdominals |
|
|
Starting Position Depending on the desired intensity either both feet or both lower legs are hung up in the loops. The body is supported laterally on one forearm. The body builds a straight line with its hip and the toes are tightened. |
Final Position One knee is pulled to the upper body, the other one is stretched. The according hip joint is flexed. The abdomen is tensed and the toes are pulled upwards. |
|
Movement 1 From the starting position one knee is pulled to the body while the hip gets flexed. |
Movement 2 The hip and knee joint get slowly stretched again. |
|
Hint: Make sure your hip joint is tensed enough and raise it lightly. The more you remove your body from the suspension point, the higher is the tensile load. |
