Conseils techniques
Avoid swinging your legs or using momentum to lift your knees. This is a common mistake that not only reduces the effectiveness of the exercise but can also lead to injury. Instead, focus on using your abdominal muscles to lift your knees towards your chest in a controlled manner.
Breathe out as you lift your knees and breathe in as you lower them. Proper breathing is essential for any exercise, and it's particularly important for knee raises because it helps engage your abdominal muscles more effectively.
Make sure you're lifting your knees high enough. Your thighs should be at least parallel to the ground at the top of the movement. However, don't lift your knees
