Alternate Heel Touchers

How to do it

1. 01

   Lie on the floor with the knees bent and the feet on the floor around 18-24 inches apart. Your arms should be extended by your side. This will be your starting position.

2. 02

   Crunch over your torso forward and up about 3-4 inches to the right side and touch your right heel as you hold the contraction for a second. Exhale while performing this movement.

3. 03

   Now go back slowly to the starting position as you inhale.

4. 04

   Now crunch over your torso forward and up around 3-4 inches to the left side and touch your left heel as you hold the contraction for a second. Exhale while performing this movement and then go back to the starting position as you inhale. Now that both heels have been touched, that is considered 1 repetition.

5. 05

   Continue alternating sides in this manner until all prescribed repetitions are done.
