exercise_detail.tips

• Ensure the resistance band is tight enough to provide adequate tension without restricting movement.
• Focus on keeping your knees aligned with your toes to prevent inward collapse.
• Maintain an upright posture with a slight forward lean to engage the core effectively.
• Perform the exercise slowly to maximize muscle activation and control.
• If you feel discomfort in your knees, try adjusting the band's position or reducing its tension.
