Technik-Tipps
A common mistake is to lean forward during the twist. This can put unnecessary strain on your lower back and knees. Instead, keep your chest lifted and your back straight as you twist.
Avoid fast, jerky movements. Instead, move in a slow, controlled manner. This not only reduces the risk of injury, but also engages your muscles more effectively.
The twist in this exercise is meant to engage your core. Make sure you're not just moving your arms and shoulders. Instead, focus on using your abs to power the twist.
