Put four coins on a table,in a row , all tails up like this

How many moves it needs to make all of them as Heads like

[center] H H H H [/center]

The conditions are

1.Turn any 2 coins and it is considered as 1 move
2.When you do the next move you need to ensure you turn 1 coin which was turned in the previous move
3.You always need to turn two coins over and over until you reach all heads and you satisfy condition 1 & 2 too

Good luck
