Our partner LAUFMAMALAUF presents and explains the fitness exercise: “Press up” with your Croozer!
The exercise “Press-Up” is a perfect full-body exercise. Here’s everything you need to know, in a nutshell:
Who? For mother and baby
Where? Indoors or outdoors
How often? Depending on your fitness level: start with 8-10 repetitions, followed by a short break; then do another 8-10 reps
General information: Secure the wheels of the Croozer Stroller 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; keep your body rigid like a “board” to prevent your lower back from arching
The exercise
Starting position:
- Lean forward, supporting your weight with your two hands shoulder-width apart on the Croozer, your arms in a vertical position and your elbows slightly bent
- Your body should form a diagonal line from your heels to the top of your head
- Easier version: knees resting on the ground
- Keep your stomach and pelvic-floor muscles tight
The movement:
- Bend your arms, keeping your elbows close to your sides, and lower your torso towards the Croozer
- Hold your position briefly, then extend your arms
- Do several repetitions
An important reminder:
- Maintain full body tension, do not arch your back or bend at the waist
