How to perform
To perform the Crab Twist Toe Touch:1. Start by sitting on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground.
2. Place your hands behind you, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, with your fingers pointing towards your feet.
3. Lift your hips off the ground, creating a tabletop position with your body.
4. In one smooth motion, twist your torso to reach your right hand towards your left foot, keeping your hips raised and core engaged.
5. Return to the starting position and twist your torso to reach your left hand towards your right foot.
6. Repeat this twisting motion for the desired number of reps, keeping your movements controlled and engaging your core throughout.
7. To increase the intensity of the exercise, you can perform the movement at a faster pace or hold a weight in your hand while twisting.
Remember to breathe evenly throughout the exercise and perform each movement with proper form to avoid any strain or injury. As with any exercise, it's important to listen to your body and stop if you experience any pain or discomfort.
