Movement technique

The goal is to give you as much information as possible on the technique of execution of the movements that make up the circuits.

Important! In all exercises, the abdominal belt must be engaged: grow taller and stick your belly button to the spine.

You should feel solid in the center of your body, your posture should not change and your stomach should not stick out.

Lower body

squat

Keep your torso as straight as possible, lowering your buttocks back as if you were sitting. Your knees are in line with the tips of your feet. As you move down, engage your abs! For beginners, when your lower back becomes rounded, you have reached your natural limit.
