Tutorial

  1. 1
    Lie on your stomach on the floor and support yourself on your left forearm. Your left shoulder should be above your left elbow.
  2. 2
    Lift your hips off the floor so that you only have contact with the floor with your left forearm and the tips of your toes. Make sure that you are in line from head to toe and that your back is straight. You can put your right arm behind your back.
  3. 3
    Now turn your right shoulder or upper body all the way up so that you are now looking to the right. Keep your feet on the floor throughout the exercise. Breathe out as you do so.
  4. 4
    Turn your upper body back to the starting position so that your gaze is directed towards the floor again. Breathe in as you do so.
  5. 5
    One repetition has now been completed. Repeat this process for the specified number of repetitions, first with your left side and then with your right side.
Tip
Tighten your abdominal muscles and buttocks throughout the exercise and keep your back straight. Perform the exercise slowly and in a controlled manner and consciously try to twist up from your back shoulder muscles. Note: If you support yourself with your left arm, the left shoulder muscles will work and vice versa. Pay attention to your breathing.
