Toe taps in crook lying position are a beginner-friendly core stability exercise performed lying on your back with knees bent. Lifting and lowering one foot at a time trains the deep abdominal muscles to stabilise the pelvis. This movement is often used in early rehab, postnatal recovery, or as an introduction to core strengthening.
- Begin by laying on your back with knees bent.
- Engage your abdominal muscles by drawing the belly button towards the spine.
- Keep the arms relaxed by your side.
- Bring one leg up into tabletop position and slowly lower it back down to the floor.
- Repeat this on the same leg OR complete with alternating legs if advised by your Physiotherapist.
