Type: Bilateral Rest: 180s Equipment: Turnringe

Tutorial

  1. 1
    Grasp the rings and move your body through the rings with your arms straight and legs bent
  2. 2
    As soon as the body is horizontal to the floor, the static hold begins. Depending on the level, extend your legs or keep them bent.

    As soon as you have reached the specified time, turn back to the starting position.
Tip
Make sure you choose a progression that you can hold well! Before you approach this exercise, the "Skin the Cat" exercise should be perfect! Keep your butt and stomach tight during the entire movement and make sure you are not hunched over.
