Core to tighten
The purpose of core tightening is to "keep the body in balance," and without it, the task of balance is taken over by the joints, increasing the risk of joint injuries.
2: The resistance is gradual
If you are a novice, the early advice is "no resistance or 1-2 grade resistance", do not deliberately pursue large resistance, strength is not the greater the better, step by step increase resistance.
