Conseils techniques
A common mistake is to pull yourself up using your neck or shoulders, which can lead to strains or injuries. Instead, focus on engaging your core muscles. Imagine pulling your belly button towards your spine as you lift your upper body off the floor. This will help to ensure that you are using your abdominal muscles and not relying on your neck or shoulders to do the work.
Avoid rushing through the exercise. Each movement should be slow and controlled. This will help to engage your muscles fully and reduce the risk of injury.
