Topic description

Stomach position, grasp a dumbbell with both hands (back of each hand pointing to the respective side), these are placed on the floor at chest height, the arms are bent accordingly. From this position, stretch your arms to push your upper body away from the floor, your knees are also no longer in contact with the floor and your slightly bent legs are only supported on the tips of your feet. With a small jump forwards, bring your legs approximately shoulder-width apart towards the dumbbells (place your feet slightly inwards behind the dumbbells on each side). The upper body is tilted forwards as the outstretched arms are still holding the weights on the floor (back as straight as possible). Now straighten your legs, push your hips forwards and raise your upper body to a standing position. The arms remain stretched and point sideways along the body towards the floor in the end position so that the weights are approximately at hip height. Then lower your upper body back down to place the weights on the floor again with your arms straight (with the tips of your feet slightly offset outwards). Support your upper body with your arms (hands gripping the dumbbells) to perform a two-legged jump backwards so that you reach the push-up position. Lower your upper body back to the starting position in the prone position (bend your arms, hold the weights next to your chest, knees on the floor, straight legs resting on the tips of your feet).

Lighten:
Less/no weight.

Harden:
Execute a push-up instead of lowering your body to the prone position; more weight.

Topic description

Stomach position, grasp a dumbbell with both hands (back of each hand pointing to the respective side), these are placed on the floor at chest height, the arms are bent accordingly. From this position, stretch your arms to push your upper body away from the floor, your knees are also no longer in contact with the floor and your slightly bent legs are only supported on the tips of your feet (push-up position). With a small jump forwards, bring your legs more than shoulder-width apart towards the dumbbells (place your feet slightly outwards behind the dumbbells on each side). The upper body is tilted forwards as the outstretched arms are still holding the weights on the floor (back as straight as possible). Now lift the weights off the floor and move them backwards between your legs to the height of your buttocks with your arms stretched out. Now swing the weights overhead by first holding the dumbbells in front of your chest with your arms bent, and from there push your arms out vertically upwards. The upright stance with arms stretched upwards and legs slightly bent corresponds to the end position. Then bend your arms while standing upright to bring the weights to your shoulders. Tilt your upper body forwards, stretch your arms and place the dumbbells on the floor between your legs (slightly in front of your feet) (legs slightly bent). Support your upper body with your arms (hands gripping the dumbbells), jump backwards with both legs so that you can assume the starting position in the prone position in one smooth movement (bend your arms, lower your upper body, hold the weights next to your chest, knees on the floor, straight legs resting on the tips of your feet).

Lighten:
Less/no weight.

Harden:
Execute a push-up instead of lowering the body to the prone position; more weight.

Topic description

Lie on your stomach in front of a wall with the tips of your feet exactly in the corner between the floor and the wall and your arms bent next to your shoulders (palms on the floor, elbows pointing towards the wall). Extend your arms to push your upper body away from the floor, then walk your feet upwards along the wall (alternately moving one leg upwards), at the same time as moving your legs upwards, alternately move your arms towards the wall (walking with your arms). The legs and arms are moved until the handstand position can be assumed (full body stretch, arms stretched out in a high position). Then perform the movement sequence in reverse order to return from the handstand to the prone position.

Attention:
Move your legs and arms in a controlled manner.

Lighten:
Break off the exercise before the handstand position and return to the prone position (move your legs less far upwards).

Harden:
Additional weight (on your feet).

The legs and arms are moved until the handstand position can be assumed (full body stretch, arms stretched in a high position). Once in the handstand position, the hands are moved to the side a few times (running sideways with the hands) before the sequence of movements is repeated in reverse order to return from the handstand to the prone position. For the next repetition, move your arms to the other side to return to the starting point of the exercise.

Attention:
Move your legs and arms in a controlled manner.

Lighten:
Stop the exercise before the handstand position and return to the prone position (move your legs less far upwards); perform the exercise without moving your arms.

Harden:
Additional weight (on your feet).

Topic description

The movement is practised as follows:
The foot at the back in the direction of movement pushes off the floor and the foot at the front is placed 10-15cm in front. The rear foot is then pulled back so that the original starting position is restored. The movement is dynamic, gliding light-footedly over the floor. The movement can also be performed with small flat jumps. It is important to ensure that the movement is always practised in combination with the boxing position.
