Staying fit with LAUFMAMALAUF
Sideways Cross Step
Our partner LAUFMAMALAUF presents and explains the fitness exercise: “Sideways Cross Step” with your Croozer!
The exercise “Sideways Cross Step” helps improve coordination and endurance, while strengthening the small foot muscles. Here’s everything you need to know, in a nutshell:
Who? For mother with baby, or also solo
Where? Outdoors
How often? Depending on your fitness level: start with 1-2 sets, followed by a short break; then do another 1-2 sets. Each set should cover a distance of approx. 8-10 metres
Info for the mother: Only suitable for mothers whose pelvic-floor muscles are back to normal after childbirth; as an alternative, you can jump without raising your knees high; concentrate on keeping your stomach and pelvic-floor muscles tightened during the exercise; keep your breathing even and calm
The exercise
Starting position:
- Stand beside the Croozer
- Hold the handlebar of the Croozer with one hand
- Keep your stomach and pelvic-floor muscles tight
The movement:
- While pushing the Croozer forwards, move sideways, alternating steps in front of and behind your body
- Avoid rotating your torso with your steps
- After completing one set, turn around and repeat on the other side
An important reminder:
- Land softly on your feet
- Maintain the tension in your stomach and pelvic-floor muscles
- The rotation while stepping sideways should be limited to the hips
- Be sure to keep your torso as stable and upright as possible
- Perform the movements cleanly
