Coaching-Hinweise
Technik-Tipps
A common mistake is arching or rounding the back during this stretch. Keep your back flat and your core engaged to protect your spine and get the most out of the exercise.
Avoid rushing through the movement. Instead, move with control and precision, extending one leg and the opposite arm simultaneously. This slow, controlled motion ensures you are using your muscles, not momentum, to perform the stretch.
Keep your gaze down and slightly ahead, not on your hands or feet. This helps maintain a neutral neck alignment and prevents strain.
Don't hold your breath during the exercise. Regular, even breathing helps deliver oxygen to your muscles and can even help you maintain focus and balance.
