exercise_detail.tips

• Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to maintain balance.
• Focus on smooth, controlled movements rather than speed.
• Ensure your breathing is steady; exhale as you bring the knee up and inhale as you return to the starting position.
• If you're new to this exercise, start slowly to master the coordination before increasing speed.
• To increase intensity, try lifting your knees higher or speeding up the motion.
• Keep your shoulders relaxed and avoid tensing your neck.
