Conseils techniques
Avoid bouncing or using sudden movements to try to stretch further. This can cause strains or even injuries. Instead, gradually lean forward from your hips, not your waist, towards your extended leg. Reach towards your foot with both hands, but don't worry if you can't reach it. The goal is to feel a gentle stretch down the back of your leg, not to touch your toes.
Don't hold your breath during the stretch. Breathe deeply and slowly, exhaling as you lean forward to deepen the stretch.
