Technik-Tipps
As you bend forward, keep your back straight and not rounded. This is crucial to ensure that the stretch targets the correct muscles in your back and not strain your neck or shoulders. A common mistake is to hunch the back, which can lead to discomfort or injury.
Don't rush the bend. Make it a slow, controlled movement as you lean forward from your hips, not your waist. Avoid bouncing or forcing the stretch, as this can cause muscle strain.
Remember to breathe normally as you perform the stretch. Holding your breath can cause tension in your muscles and defeat the purpose of the stretch.
