Crab Twist Toe Touch
Target Muscle
Secondary Muscles
Equipment
Lift your hips off the floor, coming into a reverse table-top position or crab walk position, where your torso is parallel to the floor.
Lift your right hand off the floor and at the same time lift your left foot off the floor, twisting your torso to the right so you can touch your right hand to your left foot.
Return your right hand and left foot to the floor, then repeat the movement on the opposite side, touching your left hand to your right foot.
Continue alternating sides for your desired number of repetitions, keeping your hips elevated throughout the exercise.
Pro Tip
Correct Position: Start in the crab walk position, with your hands and feet flat on the ground, your chest facing upwards, and your hips lifted. This is the correct starting position and maintaining it is vital for the effectiveness of the exercise. Controlled Movement: When performing the twist and toe touch, maintain control over your movements. Avoid rushing the exercise or using momentum to carry you through. Instead, focus on engaging your core and using your muscles to control the movement. Avoid Overextending: A common mistake is overextending the back or neck during the twist. Keep your neck in a neutral position and your back straight to avoid straining these areas. Breathing Technique: Remember to breathe correctly during the exercise
