Benefits of exercise

Level 3 shin flexion on FISIO functional hinges is performed with arms outstretched in front of you, feet under the attachment point.

This is a coordination exercise aimed at developing balance and strengthening the entire back of the legs. Holding your arms up reduces the area of contact with the floor and increases the level of difficulty, which requires more strength to maintain body stability while performing this exercise

Creating an unstable support with the help of functional loops allows you to involve a huge number of muscles in the work. The target muscles are the posterior surface of the thigh, the muscles of the shin, and the buttocks. These muscles are important in human daily activities and are responsible for the stable position of the body when walking, running or jumping.

This is an excellent exercise to increase the functional strength of the legs, strengthen the lumbar spine, develop the muscles of the buttocks and abs as the main stabilizers when performing this movement.
