Avoid letting your knees cave inwards, as this can lead to knee injury. Also, make sure your hips go back and down, as if you are sitting in a chair, rather than your knees going forward over your toes.
- **Controlled Movements**: Perform the exercise slowly and with control. Rapid, jerky movements can lead to muscle strain or injury. The slower you go, the more you'll engage your muscles, leading to better results.
- **Consistent Tension**: Keep the band taut
