Exercise

Knee lift

Type: Bilateral Rest: 120s Equipment: Beinhebe Station

Tutorial

1

Position your forearms on the pads provided and press your back against the backrest. Hold on to the handles with your hands. Your feet are off the floor and hanging straight down.
2

Bring your knees powerfully towards your chest by bending your legs and tensing your abdominal muscles. Your lower back lifts away from the backrest. Exhale as you do this.
3

Slowly bring your legs back to the starting position so that they hang straight down again. Keep your abdominal muscles tensed even in the lowest position. Breathe in as you do so.
4

One repetition has now been completed. Repeat this process for the specified number of repetitions.

Tip

Your upper back is in contact with the backrest throughout the exercise. Your abdominal muscles are tensed throughout the exercise. Make sure that you curl your hips in towards your stomach. Try to work only from your abdominal muscles and do not put too much strain on your legs. Avoid swinging with your legs.
