The heel lift exercise is used to train core stability. Start by lying down on your back on a padded surface and place both your hands on your belly to cue your core to brace. Begin to raise one heel off of the floor while maintaining a neutral spine. Slowly lower it and alternate sides. Be sure to use your core to prevent extending or flexing through the spine during this exercise.
