🔈 Sound on! Proper form is always important.
During calf raises it is important to come straight up, loading over the big toe. Don’t flare out! Place a tennis ball in between your ankles during the exercise to reinforce proper mechanics and prevent compensatory movements if you lack adequate big toe extension.

STOP DOING CRUNCHES! 🔈on
.
Often one of the first exercises people think of when talking about core exercises - crunches are typically more harm than good.
.
A typical crunch exercise puts excessive pressure on your lumbar discs and that will likely lead to back pain. Also, most people end up using more of their hip flexors to perform this exercise and not the actual core muscles.
.
There are better exercises to choose that will activate your core musculature without the risk of injury.
. .
To create a functional core - one that will keep you from having back pain in the future, then we need to choose functional exercises. .
