Stand upright with the weight (dumbbell or kettlebell) with one arm (left) stretched out overhead (arm almost stretched out in an upright position), bend the knees and lower the buttocks as far as possible without losing stability in the back. While lowering the upper body (bending the knees), always look towards the weight and rotate the upper body slightly. The weight is then pushed back up in a controlled manner to the starting position in the standing position (stretch your legs).

Starting position:
- Stand upright with shoulders shoulder-width apart, feet pointing slightly outwards
- Stabilise the weight with one arm overhead in an upright position
- Tense the abdominal and gluteal muscles
- Look forward

Finishing position:
- Knees bent
- Buttocks back, not knees forward (sitting backwards)
- Back remains stretched
- Gaze directed towards the weight, upper body rotated/turned in towards the weight

Attention:
This exercise requires extremely high levels of mobility and stability, which is why it is only suitable for advanced exercisers. Distribute the weight over the entire foot, push the knee outwards (do not tilt inwards).

2 dumbbells/kettlebells

Squat in a low position with your feet pointing slightly outwards, holding a weighted disc between your legs with your arms stretched out (disc almost horizontal to the floor). In the squat position, look forwards in a neutral position and ensure that you do not lose stability in your back. From the squat position, straighten your legs to stand upright and simultaneously bend your arms to move the upper edge of the weight disc to approximately chin height (elbows close to the body, forearms pointing upwards, disc aligned horizontally to the floor). In a flowing movement, benefit from the momentum of the legs as you stand up so that the weight disc can immediately be raised further (arms extended overhead). After pushing the weight upwards, move the disc back down to the floor in the squat position in the reverse sequence of movements.

Attention:
Distribute the weight over the entire foot, push the knees outwards (do not tilt them inwards). Always make sure your back is straight (torso tension).

Then extend your arms overhead (hold them up), keeping the disc horizontal to the floor. Under certain circumstances, the weight can also be pushed upwards in a fluid movement in order to benefit from the momentum of the legs (thruster). Reverse the sequence of movements to return to the starting position in the squat.

Get into a squat position with one leg on the balance half sphere, straighten your legs and simultaneously jump to the other side of the half sphere so that you change your standing leg on the sphere. With the landing movement, perform another squat and then jump back to the starting position in a fluid transition. In this way, the trainee jumps continuously from one side of the balance half-ball to the other and changes their standing leg on the training device with each exercise. In the lower squat position, the arms are bent and brought together in front of the body (landing), while the arms hang next to the body (flight phase) when the body is extended.

1 balance hemisphere

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, arms supported on your hips, bent or in front of you at chest height, bend your knees to approximately a right angle at the knee joints (buttocks at about knee height). From the deep squat position, perform a lunge backwards (upper body upright, abdomen tensed), arms again supported on the hips, folded on the chest, bent in front or at an angle, front (and back) leg bent to a right angle, two-legged jump to change leg position during the jump (move back leg forwards and front leg backwards - body position remains low), new alternating jump to return to the starting position in the lunge. Move the back leg forwards to the deep squat position before stretching the legs back to the starting position in a shoulder-width stance. After the new squat, change the side of the lunge compared to the previous version.

Attention:
When squatting, move your buttocks backwards, not your knees forwards. Keep your knees behind your toes. Keep your back straight at all times (tense your core), distribute your weight over your entire foot, push your knees outwards (do not tilt them inwards). When lunging, always keep the front knee behind the toe and centred over the foot. Keep your upper body as stable as possible.
