Dips

Our partner LAUFMAMALAUF presents and explains the fitness exercise: “Dips” for the Croozer!

“Dips” are an exercise that’s great for your arms. Here’s everything you need to know, in a nutshell:

Who? For mother with baby, or also solo
Where? Indoors or outdoors
How many reps? Depending on your fitness level: start with 10-15 repetitions, followed by a short break; then do another 10-15 reps
General information: Always secure the wheels of your Croozer using the parking brake
Info for the mother: Concentrate on keeping your stomach and pelvic-floor muscles tightened during the exercise; keep your breathing even and calm; your movements should be smooth and controlled; pull your shoulders down towards your pelvic floor; keep your butt close to the Croozer; don’t lock your elbows

Exercise

Starting position:

  • Stand in front of the Croozer
  • Place your hands behind you, resting on the Croozer
  • Your feet should be about hip-width apart and your knees bent at 90° angles
  • Your butt should be suspended in the air
  • Keep your stomach and pelvic-floor muscles tight

The movement:

  • Bend your arms and lower your butt towards the ground
  • Then push back up to the original position by straightening your arms (without locking your elbows)
  • Do several repetitions

Variation:

  • Get into the starting position
  • Lift your right foot off the ground
