Stretching

10 minutes of each training session

Lie on your back. Hold the back of the knee with both hands. Pull the training leg up towards your head so that the back thigh is increasingly stretched. Perform the exercise with both straight and bent knees. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Then do the same exercise on the opposite leg.

Stand on one leg. Support with one hand on a wall/chair. Bend the opposite knee and grasp the foot with the hand on the same side. Pull your foot up and your knee slightly backwards, so that your front thigh becomes increasingly stretched. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Repeat the exercise alternately on the right and left leg. The exercise can also be performed lying on your side or stomach.

Cross your training leg straight behind the support leg while bending sideways over the training leg so that the outside of the thigh is increasingly stretched. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Repeat the exercise alternately on the right and left leg.

Stand with your legs spread apart. One leg straight and the other slightly bent. Shift your weight to the side on the bent leg so that there is an increasing stretch on the inside of the opposite thigh. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Repeat the exercise on the opposite leg.

Lie on your back with one leg straight. Bend the other leg and place your foot on the other side of the stretched leg. With both hands, pull your knee up towards the opposite shoulder so that the buttocks are increasingly stretched. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Repeat the exercise on the opposite leg.

Coodination

Balance on two legs on the seesaw. Initially support with your hand against the wall. Later, balance on one leg without support. Later, try balancing with your eyes closed.

Lie on your back with a ball or stick under both feet. Roll the ball back and forth at a steady pace while lifting your hips.

Strength

Attach an exercise band at ankle height behind you. Sit on a chair with your back against the resistance band. Wrap the elastic band around your shin just above the ankle. Slowly stretch your knee to tighten the elastic band. Hold the tension for a few seconds and slowly bend your knee again.

Lie on your back. Let the heel of the training leg rest on a smooth floor. Bend and stretch the training leg while maintaining contact with the ground.

Lie on the floor with your arms above your head and legs straight. Lift your right arm and left leg simultaneously. Then lift the opposite arm and leg.

‘Lying pelvic lift’. Lie on your back with your legs bent and the soles of your feet on the floor. Slowly lift your pelvis and lower back off the floor and hold the position for a few seconds. Your back and thighs should be in a straight line. Slowly lower your pelvis again.
