Bodyweight Single-Leg Deadlift Toe Touch
The single-leg hinge finished by touching the standing foot's toes with the opposite hand, which adds a small twist to the balance.
How to do it
Setup
Standing on one leg, knee soft, arms relaxed, the other foot just off the floor.
Steps
- Hinge forward and reach the opposite hand down to the standing foot's toes.
- Let the free leg rise behind as the hand goes down.
- Stand tall, then repeat; switch legs after the set.
Common mistakes
Rounding the back to reach the toes: bend the standing knee a little more instead. Twisting the hips open with the reach: the shoulders turn, the hips stay square. Rushing the reps: balance first, speed never.
Breathing
Inhale hinging, exhale standing.
