Pro Tip
Correct Positioning: Make sure to position your foot correctly. Your heel should be firmly on the ground, and your toes should be pointing upwards. Avoid any sideways movement as it can lead to ankle sprains. Controlled Movements: The most common mistake is to rush through the exercise. It's essential to perform each movement slowly and with control. Rapid or jerky movements can lead to injuries. Use of Props: If you're having trouble performing the exercise, consider using a towel or resistance band. Place the prop around the ball of your foot and gently pull towards you to help with the upward movement. Regular Breaks: Don't overdo it. If you feel any pain or discomfort, stop the exercise immediately. It
