Technik-Tipps
Bend one knee and reach back to hold your foot or ankle. Ensure your knee is not splayed out to the side but is in line with your hip. This helps in targeting the right muscles and prevents strain on the knee.
If you cannot reach your foot, use a strap or a towel around your ankle. Avoid straining your neck or shoulders trying to reach your foot, as it could lead to injuries.
Pull your foot towards your buttocks until you feel a stretch in your quadriceps. Avoid the mistake of pulling too hard or too fast which can cause a muscle pull or tear.
