Form tips
Maintain a straight back and keep your shoulders relaxed. Avoid leaning forward or backward, as this can cause strain on your back and knees. Your gaze should be straight ahead, not down on the floor.
When bending your knees, make sure you do it gradually and avoid bending them beyond a 90-degree angle. This is a common mistake that can lead to knee injuries. Your front knee should be directly above your ankle, not pushed out over your toes.
To get the most out of the exercise, engage your core muscles. This will not only help maintain balance but also enhance the effectiveness of the exercise by working your abdominal muscles.
