The lying heel touches exercise builds strong obliques and improves core stability. It targets your side abs for better posture and trunk rotation strength.
1. Lie on your back with knees bent, feet flat on the floor about hip-width apart. 2. Keep your arms straight at your sides and lift your head and shoulders slightly off the ground. 3. Reach your right hand toward your right heel by crunching to the side during lying heel touches. 4. Return to center, then reach your left hand toward your left heel for the lying heel touches movement. 5. Keep alternating sides in a controlled motion, maintaining the slight crunch position throughout.
• Keep your core tight and shoulders lifted throughout the entire lying heel touches movement. • Move slowly and focus on the side crunch rather than just reaching your arms. • Don't let your head touch the ground between reps during lying heel touches. • Keep your feet planted firmly on the floor without shifting your hips.
• Moving too fast and using momentum instead of controlled muscle contraction during lying heel touches. • Letting your shoulders drop to the floor between reps, which reduces core engagement. • Reaching with your arms instead of actually crunching your torso sideways in lying heel touches.
