Toe Taps

Toe taps are a core-focused exercise performed lying on your back. Lie flat with your arms by your sides and your legs raised to a tabletop position (knees bent at 90 degrees). Slowly lower one foot to gently tap the floor, keeping your core engaged and your lower back pressed into the ground. Return to the starting position and alternate legs. This exercise strengthens the core while minimizing strain on the lower back.
