    How to: Crab Twist Toe Touch

    1. Start in a crab position with your hands and feet on the ground.
    2. Lift your hips off the ground, forming a bridge.
    3. Reach one arm to the opposite foot while twisting your torso.
    4. Alternate sides for the desired number of repetitions.
    5. Lower your hips back down after each repetition.

    Common Mistakes

    • Not keeping the core engaged during the movement.
    • Letting the hips sag instead of maintaining stability.
    • Rushing through the movement instead of maintaining control.

    Modifications

    • Perform the exercise on a softer surface to reduce impact.
    • Use a stability ball for additional support.

    Tips

    • Keep your movements controlled to maximize effectiveness.
    • Make sure your form is correct to avoid injuries.
