Overhead Squats
Preparation
Insert the handle bar. Fix the carriage so that the handle bar is directly below the collarbone.
Starting position
Stand with your back against the handlebar and lift it slightly with your shoulders. Grasp the handlebar with both hands on the outside. Then stretch the arms. The focus is on the future. The body's center of gravity rests on the entire sole of the foot.
Execution
Get into a squatting position with your arms outstretched so that your hip joint is below your knee joint. Stand up again with pressure until your legs are almost straight. Always keep your back in an arched position and tense your abdomen. During the downward movement, the buttocks are guided as far back as possible.
Hint
Do not let the knees buckle toward the middle. They always remain above the feet. The legs are not fully extended in the final position to keep the muscles under tension and to protect the knee joint.
Variants
