# Alternating Toe Tap

Lie on your back with your legs extended straight on the floor and your arms resting by your sides.

## How to do it

1. Lie on your back with your legs extended straight on the floor and your arms resting by your sides.
2. Simultaneously lift your right leg and left arm towards the ceiling, trying to touch your toe with your hand.
3. Lower your right leg and left arm back to the starting position.
4. Repeat the movement with your left leg and right arm, lifting them towards the ceiling and trying to touch your toe with your hand. Continue alternating sides.

## Form tips

- Engage your core throughout the exercise to maintain stability and protect your lower back.
- Perform the movement slowly and with control to maximize muscle activation and prevent injury.
- Keep your legs straight and avoid bending your knees to ensure proper form.
