Toes-to-bar

Proper Position

• Hang from a pull-up bar with an overhand grip (palms facing forward) and hands shoulder-width apart.
• Let your body hang while engaging your core to stabilize your posture.
• Keep your legs straight and your feet together.

Movement

• While keeping your legs straight, lift them toward the bar by hinging at the hips until your toes touch or come close to the bar.
• Control the movement throughout the lift.
• Slowly lower your legs back to the starting position without swinging your body.
• Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Breathing

• Inhale as you lower your legs.
• Exhale as you lift them.

Tips

• Focus on contracting your abs to perform the movement and avoid using momentum.
• If you’re a beginner or find the exercise too challenging, lift your knees toward your chest instead.
• Keep your shoulders relaxed and avoid pulling with your arms.
