Alternating Toe Touch

STEP BY STEP GUIDE:

  1. Lay on your back with your legs up at 90 degrees and your arms up in the air over your shoulders.

  2. Raise your shoulders up off the ground and reach towards your left foot, then lower your shoulders back to the ground.

  3. Raise your shoulders up again, this time reaching towards the right foot, and lower back down. This is one complete rep.

  4. Repeat for the prescribed amount of reps.

HELPFUL CUES:

  1. Squeeze your low back to the ground. This will help engage the abs fully.

COMMON MISTAKES:

  1. Bringing your feet towards your hands rather than your hands up to your feet. This is cheating. Make sure you’re raising those shoulders off the ground each rep and not simply bringing your feet back.
