Abdominal muscle exercise
With the support belt behind your buttocks and the
padded upper bar ends in front of your shoulders,
place yourself in a standing position on the base.
The length of the belt is correct when, in the starting
position, you are able to stand in an erect position.
Bend your upper body steadily forward by tightening
your abdominal muscles.
Also when performing this exercise, keep your ankles
and knees straight. The movement advances from
your pelvis upward in your upper body and your lower
body stays as erect as possible. It is enough to have
the bars bend a few centimetres. Feel the resistance in
your abdominal muscles, but do not pull harshly.
Keeping your abdominal muscles tensioned, return
steadily to the starting position. Repeat the movement
20-30 times.
Remember the right breathing technique: Exhale
calmly during the movement’s work phase (when
tightening your muscles against the bars’ resistance)
and inhale calmly when returning to the starting
position.
