Alternating Heel Touches



1. Starting Position:

• Lie flat on your back on a comfortable surface, such as a yoga mat.
• Bend your knees, placing your feet flat on the ground about shoulder-width apart.
• Keep your arms by your sides, palms facing inwards.

2. Engage Your Core:

• Slightly lift your shoulders and upper back off the ground, engaging your abdominal muscles.
• Your head should remain in a neutral position, avoiding any strain on the neck.

3. Perform the Exercise:

• Keeping your core tight, reach your right hand toward your right heel, bending slightly to the side.
• Return to the center keeping your shoulder blades off the ground, then reach your left hand toward your left heel.
• Continue alternating sides in a controlled, rhythmic motion.

4. Breathing:

• Exhale as you reach toward each heel and inhale as you return to the center.

5. Repetitions:

• Aim for 12–20 repetitions per side for 2–3 sets, or adjust based on your fitness level.
