Due to their handy size the Brasil® can be deposited on the desk. Only when a device is within reach is it used regularly. Ask yourself or your course participants: How many devices do you have that are stored in a corner or cupboard and never used?

So, let´s start your training with TOGU Brasil

Mini Moves: Feeling and activating the deep muscles that stabilize your body in rotation, lateral tilt and bending/stretching. We achieve this by fast, short hacking movements.

Execute the mini moves for approx. 10 – 40 seconds with a force expenditure of less than 30% of your individual maximum force and a movement amplitude of approx. 15 cm.
