Tips

Engage your core muscles throughout the entire exercise to stabilize your body and protect your lower back, preventing excessive arching or rounding. Maintain a straight line from head to heels during the plank position, avoiding sagging hips or a raised rear end to ensure proper engagement of your core and chest. Position your elbows at a 45-degree angle during the push-up to protect your shoulder joints and maximize chest muscle activation. When jumping or stepping, focus on absorbing the impact by bending your knees and hips, minimizing stress on your joints and maintaining control. Be prepared to actively adjust and control your balance as the unstable surface of the balance trainer challenges your stability, requiring constant micro-adjustments to maintain control.
