Exercise EW41: Abductor exercise dynamic (hard)

Exercise W41: Abductor exercise dynamic (hard)

Combination exercise: Strengthening the abductors & lateral trunk muscles

Goal: Strengthening

Parameters: Frequency: 25 Hz to 30 Hz / Position 1.0-3.0 (heel) / Duration: 1 min.

Procedure:
Posture: Elbow rests on stepper, foot of lower leg rests on Galileo device, raise upper leg straight, upper body and legs form a straight line
Movement: Slowly lower hips until just above the floor (no contact with the floor!), then slowly raise again (simpler exercise variations: EW39, EW40).

Repetitions: Repeat the exercise for both sides.

Tip 1: Slow lowering (eccentric exercise) is a particularly effective exercise, so concentrate on slow lowering.

Tip 2: Since not all of your body weight is on your feet, they can lose their grip more easily at higher frequencies, so start the exercise with a narrower foot position and slightly in the lower frequency range (25Hz+) and gradually increase first the frequency and then the foot position.
