Why: Strength exercise for the back and arms. Equipment: gymnastic rings or TRX, RedCord or other type of sling.
Set the height of the rings to approximately hip height.
Grasp the ring and back until the ropes are tight. Stretch out your arms and step your feet towards the anchor point.
The further away from the anchor point you have your feet, the easier. The feet closer to the anchor point provide heavier exercise.
Start with straight arms and a good span through the body. Lift your toes so that you stand on your heels.
Pull your body up between the rings, push your chest up firmly and pull the shoulder blades together on the back. Lower controlled back.
Feel that you have a good stability through the body, and good contact with the core and the seat.
The exercise can also be performed in TRX, RedCord or other type of sling.
