Corner Touch

The Corner Touch is a dynamic exercise that helps improve your coordination and balance while working your leg and abdominal muscles. This exercise is unique because it combines cardiovascular and strength-training elements, allowing you to address multiple fitness goals in one movement.

Execution:

1. Begin in a standing position with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Extend your arms straight out in front of you at shoulder height.
3. Shift your weight onto your left leg while lifting your right leg toward the upper-right corner of the room. At the same time, touch the toes of your right foot with your left hand.
4. Return to the starting position and repeat the movement with your left leg and right hand.
5. Alternate between the right and left sides for the desired number of repetitions.

Primary Muscles:

• Leg muscles
• Abdominal muscles
• Glutes

Benefits:

• Improves coordination and balance.

Common Mistakes:

Possible Alternatives:
