Alright now that we have a cat press, let’s learn to use the toes for adding a toe lift to a cat press. From a neutral back you are going to bend your elbows backwards against the skin or your ribs and as you come down, you are going to lift the toe off the floor. Bringing it back up, you lower the toe, just switch each time. So one toe comes up as the body comes down and back up. Just make sure you keep both knees on the floor all the time. And don't do both at the same time. It looks a little funky that way, looks like some sort of a sea creature. You want to be kind of sexy in this move. Make sure you lean forward, drop the elbows back, press the toe, and bring it up. If you are doing this in a class session, you can do four toes, eight counts all together. Make sure you're hugging the elbows back, turn your head to protect your neck, again, so it's a press down, and a lift up. You can always counter after you've done the total of eight and it will feel very good. So that is how you do your cat press with a toe lift.
