Coaching Tips
Strategy
- 1Focus on maintaining a tight core throughout the movement to stabilize the hips and prevent excessive arching of the back.
- 2Pace yourself to ensure you do not fatigue too quickly; aim for controlled, smooth walk.
- 3If you feel unstable, take short breaks instead of rushing through the course.
- 4Use a wall for support if needed, gradually increasing the distance you walk away from it as you gain confidence.
