How to do V-Dive Into Heel Touch

Start lying on your back with knees bent, feet flat on the ground, and arms pointed straight in front of you. Engage your core and lift your upper body, reaching your hands between your legs, then lower back down. Next, lift your upper body again, this time reaching to touch your heels.

Common mistakes

Not engaging the core throughout, leading to an over-reliance on the neck or shoulders. Using momentum instead of controlled movements.

Breathing

Exhale as you reach between your legs and as you touch your heels. Inhale as you return to the starting position.
