exercise_detail.tips

• Ensure a strong grip on the bar to maintain stability throughout the exercise.
• Focus on using your core muscles to lift your legs rather than relying on momentum.
• Keep your movements slow and controlled to maximize muscle engagement.
• If full leg raises are too challenging, start with bent knees and progress as you build strength.
• Maintain a neutral spine to prevent strain on your lower back.
