Conseils techniques
Extend your arms out in front of you and slowly lean forward from your hips, not your waist. This is a common mistake that can lead to discomfort and injury. You should feel a gentle stretch in your lower back, but it should not be painful. If it is, you are likely stretching too far.
Breathe deeply and slowly during the stretch. This helps to relax the muscles and increase their flexibility. Holding your breath or breathing too quickly can cause tension in your muscles, reducing the effectiveness of the stretch.
Don't hold the stretch for too long. Aim for about 15 to 30 seconds at a time, then slowly return to the starting position
