HOW TO DO HEEL TOUCH
HEEL TOUCH
Begin by lying on your back with your arms positioned alongside your body, palms facing down. Bend your knees and engage your core to lift your shoulders and upper back off the floor, maintaining a neutral spine and keeping your neck relaxed.
Execute a slow and controlled movement as you reach down towards your right foot with your right hand. Focus on crunching the left side of your abdomen to drive the movement, avoiding any strain on your neck.
Pause briefly at the bottom of the movement, then return to the starting position. Alternate between right and left sides for the desired number of repetitions.
HEEL TOUCH BENEFITS
The Heel Touch exercise targets the obliques, abs, and lower back muscles. The obliques, crucial for twisting and turning the upper body, are effectively engaged during this movement.
Key benefits include:
Oblique Strengthening: This exercise specifically targets the oblique muscles, contributing to their tightening and development. The obliques play a vital role in torso rotation and overall core stability.
Abdominal Engagement: By focusing on the left side of the abdomen during the movement, the exercise actively works to tone and strengthen the abdominal muscles.
Lower Back Activation: The Heel Touch also engages the lower back muscles, promoting overall core strength and stability.
Ensure proper form and control throughout the exercise to maximize its effectiveness and minimize the risk of strain or injury. Incorporating Heel Touches into your routine can be beneficial for overall core development and abdominal toning.
