Conseils techniques
Avoid rushing through the exercise. It's not about speed but control. Lower your body slowly until your heel touches the ground, then push back up with control. This will effectively work your muscles and reduce the risk of injury.
When bending your knee to lower your body, make sure your knee doesn't go over your toes. This is a common mistake that can lead to knee strain or injury. To avoid this, focus on pushing your hips back as if you were sitting on a chair.
Engaging your core is crucial for maintaining balance during this exercise.
