Conseils techniques
Slowly lower both of your knees to one side while keeping both shoulders pressed firmly against the floor. The common mistake here is lifting the shoulder off the ground while twisting, which can strain your neck and back. Ensure your movements are slow and controlled to avoid injury.
While performing the exercise, it's essential to engage your core muscles. A common mistake is to only use the momentum of your legs to twist, without actually engaging the core. This not only reduces the effectiveness of the exercise but also increases the risk of injury.
Breathing is an important part of any exercise. Inhale as you bring your knees back to the center and exhale as you lower
