教练提示
姿势要点
Engage your core muscles throughout the exercise. This not only strengthens your abs, but also helps protect your lower back from injury. A common mistake is to let your stomach relax, which can lead to strain or injury.
Extend your legs and arms in a controlled manner, not too fast or too slow. A common mistake is to rush the movement or use momentum, which can lead to improper form and potential injury.
Avoid straining your neck by keeping it relaxed and in line with your spine. Imagine holding an apple between your chin and chest to maintain the right distance. A common mistake is to pull your neck forward, which can lead to neck strain.
