Exercise FAQ
How long or how many reps is enough?
Stop when you can’t keep alignment. Quality beats duration—shorter sets with perfect form are more effective than long shaky holds.
Should I hold my breath during the effort?
No—use controlled breathing. A steady exhale on the hard part helps you keep tension without losing position. Think of it as hip hinge done with repeatable, clean reps.
When should I place this in my workout?
It works well in a warm-up for activation or at the end for focused core work. Keep the effort controlled, not maxed out.
