How to perform it

Shift your weight progressively and stabilize the support before increasing difficulty. Fix your gaze on a stable point if you need more control. If the position is held for time, keep breathing and avoid accumulating unnecessary tension.

Tips

The goal is better control and mobility, not maximum range in a single session. Keep the intensity comfortable around hamstrings, glutes and hip flexors, quadriceps and calves and reduce the range if you feel tingling, sharp pain or unpleasant joint pressure. For unilateral variations, complete the same number of repetitions and a comparable range on both sides.
