How to do toes to bar

Coach's Tips

This exercise involves moving your toes to meet a bar, providing a significant range of motion for the abdominal muscles. It is more suitable for advanced practitioners than for beginners.

Start Position

1. Begin by hanging from a pull-up bar with straight arms and feet elevated from the ground.

2. Engage your core and glute muscles to keep your torso steady.

Proper Form

1. Start the movement by pulling your knees towards your chest.

2. Propel your legs upward towards the bar while keeping them straight.

3. After your feet make contact with the bar, return them to the initial position.

Breathing Technique

1. Exhale while lifting your feet upwards to reach the bar.

2. Inhale as you bring your feet back down to the starting point.

Precautions

1. Maintain engagement in your core and glutes to prevent unwanted swinging during the exercise.

2. Refrain from using momentum to lift your feet; instead, rely on abdominal strength to manage the movement.

3. Beginners should focus on drawing their knees towards their chest and mastering control before attempting to touch the bar with their feet.
