Bend your legs and stand with your feet alternately touching your shoulders for support

The first action we would like to recommend is a leg bend. Alternate tiptoe touching shoulder support movements. The name of this action is a bit complicated, but it is not difficult to complete them. First, we need to maintain a basic plank support posture, then bend our legs, and then stand on tiptoe after bending the legs. Our toes remain in this position, and then we complete this alternating shoulder touching action.

Lie on your back and tiptoe to support the same lift on the opposite side

Based on the previous action, we need to complete a simultaneous lift on the opposite side, that is to say, When we lift our left arm we need to lift our right leg at the same time, and when we lift our right arm we need to lift our left leg at the same time. During this process, you need to keep your legs tense and your abdomen strong.

Lean over to support and step forward

For the third action, we still need to maintain a basic posture of leaning over to support and extend our arms. Place it straight on the ground, support our body, and then take one step forward with one of our legs. The span should be as large as possible, but not beyond the shoulder. Straighten the back leg and feel the movement of the legs. Muscle stretching. This action is an alternating training action, so you need to complete this forward step action on both sides of the leg.
