Stage 4: Complete Movement Control (Starting from Week 4)

• Add breath control (exhale during backbend)
• Completion criteria: Able to control the falling action independently
3. Recent popular controversies and expert advice
In response to the "7-day quick fix" popular on Douyin, the Rehabilitation Center of Beijing Sport University issued a warning:
1. Minors need to avoid sudden back bending impacts
2. A 10-minute warm-up must be completed before each training session
3. The ideal rate of progress is to increase the backbend angle by 5-10 degrees every week.
4. Training effect tracking form
| Week number | Measurable indicators | normal value range |
|---|---|---|
| Week 1 | Distance between finger and ground | 30-50cm |
| Week 3 | Backbend hold time | 8-15 seconds |
| Week 6 | spinal curvature | 120-150 degrees |
Special reminder: Individual differences may lead to different progress. If there is tingling or numbness in the waist, stop immediately. It is recommended to combine it with swimming and other water training to enhance core stability. The recently popular "low temperature yoga" is not suitable for training scenarios for lower back beginners.
