Sitting Floor Alternating Toe Touch
Positioning:
1. Sit on the floor with your legs extended straight in front of you.
2. Keep your back straight and lean slightly back, engaging your core for stability.
3. Place your hands behind your head with your elbows wide, or rest your hands on the floor beside your hips for support.
Movement:
1. Lift your right leg slightly off the ground while keeping it straight.
2. At the same time, twist your torso to the right and reach your left hand towards your right foot.
3. Return to the starting position, lowering your right leg and straightening up your back.
4. Repeat the movement on the other side by lifting your left leg, twisting to the left, and reaching your right hand towards your left foot.
5. Continue alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions or time.
Tips:
- Keep your movements controlled to engage your core muscles effectively.
- Avoid rounding your back; maintain a straight posture throughout.
- Focus on your breath; exhale as you reach your foot and inhale as you come back to the center.
- Start with a set of 10-15 repetitions on each side and gradually increase as you become more comfortable.
