Alternate Heel Touchers

Technique

How to perform Alternate Heel Touchers

1. Lie on your back with knees bent, feet planted at hip width and arms beside your torso.
2. Curl your shoulders off the floor and bend your torso toward one side to reach that hand toward the same-side heel.
3. Return through the centered starting position under control.
4. Curl forward and toward the opposite side to reach the other heel.
5. Continue alternating without lifting the feet or substituting a large twist.
6. Count a reach to each heel as one complete repetition, following the existing convention.
