13 – “Wedge”
Quite a difficult and advanced exercise for working out the press. It not only strengthens the muscles in the abdomen but also makes you sweat a lot. Stability Ball Pike
The wedge is performed from a position similar to the exercise, that is, as for push-ups, but the legs are placed on the fitball, and not the fingers. Legs must be straightened. The execution itself consists in pulling the legs to the chest with the transfer of the emphasis from the lower legs to the fingers. The result is the formation of a kind of wedge.
The correctness of the performance is controlled by the absence of any deflections in the back area, the curvature of the toes relative to the fitball. The general position of the body is similar to that taken when doing push-ups.
The exercise is difficult enough, but it gives excellent results. The main thing is to try not only to master it, but also to perform at least 5-8 repetitions per approach.
