טיפים לביצוע Runners Stretch

• **Maintain Proper Form**: To perform the Runners Stretch correctly, you should have one foot in front and the other behind. The front knee should be directly over the ankle, and the back leg should be straight. Avoid bending the back knee or letting the front knee go past your toes as this can strain your joints and muscles.
• **Keep Your Back Straight**: A common mistake people make is rounding their back while performing this stretch. You should keep your back straight and your chest lifted. This helps to isolate the stretch in your hip and thigh muscles and prevents unnecessary strain on your back.
• **Hold the Stretch**: You should hold the Runners Stretch for at least 30 seconds to one minute on each side. This allows your muscles to fully relax and lengthen. Avoid bouncing
