Alternating Heel Touch is a bodyweight, core exercise that involves laying on the ground and reaching towards your heel on either side. By raising your shoulder blades off the ground, you’re already engaging your core, while reaching towards either side helps to engage your obliques.
Keep your abs engaged, and shoulders off the ground for the duration of the exercise, especially as you become fatigued. Allowing your shoulders to drop will help you perform this exercise for more reps, but it will reduce the effectiveness.
