CORE: "Heel-To-Toe Curl Up"

Directions: Perform Dynamic Warm-Up exercises at “beginning” of workout
for maximum benefit and improvement.
Pick a safe level; never be unsafe or exceed your capacity to “control” your body!

1. Stack one heel on top of toes.

2. Stretch out arms towards toes then slowly "curl up."

3. Perform all reps on one side then stack feet other way and finish set.

Tips: These are harder than they look!  If you can't go up very far just do what you can to engage the core muscles.  Try to keep from straining neck.

• Common mistakes are "throwing" yourself up and then "dropping" back down.  Do them slowly with control or don't do them at all!

*Note: This exercise is intended for "normal healthy" individuals.  If you have an injury, or abnormal pain is present,
see your physician or a certified physical therapist before continuing your exercises.
