Exercise Tips

  • Don't let your body rock back and forth. Keep your torso as still/stable as possible.
  • Avoid pushing your legs up. Instead, tighten your core to create movement.
  • Avoid overstretching your lower back. Your spine should remain flat throughout the movement.
  • Avoid shrugging. Push your shoulders down/back to engage your lats and reduce stress on your shoulder joint.
