Conseils techniques
When performing the twist, make sure to rotate from your waist, not your shoulders. This is a common mistake that can lead to injury. Your shoulders should remain square and level.
Breath control is crucial in this exercise. Inhale as you sit up straight, and exhale as you twist. This helps deepen the twist and engage your core muscles. Never hold your breath during the exercise.
Another common mistake is over-twisting or forcing a twist. This can strain your spine. Instead, go only as far as it feels comfortable. You should feel a gentle stretch, not pain.
