Lying Across-Body Toe-Tap
Sculpt your abs and improve coordination with this dynamic core move. Alternating cross-body reaches target the obliques and rectus abdominis for a stronger, more defined midsection.
Instructions
Setup
Lie flat on your back on a stable surface or yoga mat.
Extend your legs straight out and keep your arms extended overhead on the floor.
Movement
Exhale as you engage your core and sit up slightly.
Simultaneously lift one leg and reach the opposite hand toward the raised toes.
Controlled and intentionally aim to touch your toes if flexibility allows, keeping the arm and leg straight.
Inhale as you slowly return to the starting position with your back flat on the mat.
Form Tips
Keep your neck neutral: Do not pull on your head; the movement should be driven by core flexion.
Maintain connection: Avoid arching your lower back throughout the movement.
Switch sides: Alternate reaches between the left hand/right foot and right hand/left foot for each repetition.
