Tips

To maintain proper form, focus on keeping your chest lifted and your gaze directed slightly forward to prevent overarching. Actively maintain a neutral spine throughout the exercise, avoiding excessive arching or rounding of your back. Consciously balance your weight on your glutes to protect your lower back and maximize glute engagement. Draw your navel towards your spine to keep your core tight and stabilize your torso. Ensure your legs are extended straight, but avoid locking your knees, which can put unnecessary stress on your joints.
