Conseils techniques
Balance is key in this exercise. You should not rely too much on the support, it is there to assist you, not carry your weight. The main work should be done by the leg you're squatting on. To maintain balance, focus on a point straight ahead of you and keep your core engaged throughout the exercise.
Avoid going too low in your squat as this can put unnecessary strain on your knees. Aim to lower your body until your thigh is parallel with the ground. If you can't go that low initially, that's okay. Gradually work on increasing your range of motion as your strength and flexibility improve.
