Perform 1-3 sets of 10-12 repetitions of each exercise, while not relaxing the muscles of the legs and buttocks and rest 45-60 seconds between the approaches. Place the ball at a distance of 50-70 cm from the wall, so that you can rest your feet on the wall. Use dumbbells for 1-2.5 kg. Beginners must perform only the first movement, before making thrusts down on the high block; experienced heavyweights can perform the first two movements; professionals - all three.
