• Ensure your movements are controlled to avoid using momentum.
• Keep your shoulders down and relaxed to prevent tension in the neck.
• Focus on engaging your core to maintain balance during the rotation.
• Use a moderate weight that allows you to perform the exercise with proper form.
• Breathe out as you lift and rotate, and inhale as you return to the starting position.
• Maintain a slight bend in your knees for better stability.
