How to Do Abdominal Draw in With Maneuver Alternating Legs
The Abdominal Heel Draw-In can be performed by alternating both legs simultaneously. It can also be performed by keeping the back flat on the floor and the tummy pulled in throughout the exercise.
Assume the Abdominal Heel Draw-In starting position with the back flattened, arms by the sides with palms up, knees bent, and both heels lifted about an inch off the ground.
Slowly extend the left leg straight out at the same height off the floor.
As the left leg is being returned to starting position, simultaneously extend the right leg out, maintaining the same posture. Repeat in an alternating fashion like riding a bicycle.
