🦵 HOW TO DO HEEL SLIDES
Go only as far as your low back stays quiet and your belly stays flat. That might be six inches. That's correct.
Inhale as you slide the heel back toward you. Then swap legs.
The three things that matter
1️⃣ Exhale on the way out. Always. The exhale is what switches your deep core on — without it, you're just moving a leg.
2️⃣ Low back stays quiet. The moment it arches up off the floor, you've gone past your range. Come back in.
3️⃣ Watch your midline. If your belly rises into a ridge up the centre, that's doming — make the slide smaller.
Slow is the whole exercise. If you can do it quickly, you're not doing it.
Start at 6 reps each leg. Ten is not better than six done well.
If your back lifts the instant your heel moves — that's your honest starting point, mama. Slide just a few inches. It'll grow.
Start on your weaker side. 💛
