Crab toe-touch Instructions

Crab toe-touch muscle diagram
  1. Start on the floor with your knees bent, your feet hip-distance apart, and your hands placed on the ground behind you. Lift your hips off the ground, making sure to keep your neck neutral and core engaged. This will be your starting position.
  2. Kick one leg up and reach towards your toe with your opposite arm. Do not let your hips drop while performing this portion of the move. The higher you keep your hips, the more challenging the move will be.
  3. Hold for a brief count before return to the starting position and switching arms and legs.
  4. Keep alternating for the desired number of repetitions.
