Hands to Feet

Lie on your back with your legs bent, whilst keeping your feet flat on the floor, shoulder width apart 10 - 14 inches from your buttocks.

Exhale and lift your shoulder blades1 - 3 inches off the floor throughout the exercise, breathing naturally during the movement.

With your arms off the floor down by your sides, use your left oblique muscles to twist from your waist, taking your left hand to your left foot, repeating again on the other side, by using your right oblique muscles.

Beginners aim to work for 10 - 12 reps each side, for 2 sets, having 30 seconds rest between sets.

Intermediates aim for 12 - 15+ slow reps, aiming to hold in the final foot touching phase for 1 - 2 seconds.

Advanced work as above, however aim to touch the left heel with the right hand, and the right heel with the left hand.
