How to: Alternate Heel Touchers
- Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground.
- Extend your arms above your head and lift your shoulders while reaching your right hand towards your right heel.
- Return to the starting position and repeat the movement on the left side.
- Continue alternating side to side for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Pulling on the head or neck while lifting.
- Allowing the back to arch instead of keeping it flat.
- Rushing through repetitions, losing form.
Modifications
- Perform the exercise with your feet on a bench or elevated surface for added support.
- Reduce the range of motion by touching your knees instead of your heels if flexibility is limited.
Tips
- Ensure your lower back is flat against the ground during the exercise.
- Focus on smooth, controlled movements to engage your core effectively.
