Toe Touch Crunch
Legs raised vertical; crunch the shoulders up reaching your hands toward your toes, then lower slowly.
How to do it
Setup
On your back, legs raised to vertical, arms extended toward the ceiling.
Steps
- Crunch the shoulders up, reaching the hands toward the toes.
- Pause a beat at the top.
- Lower the shoulders slowly; the legs stay vertical.
Common mistakes
Pulling the neck with the chin: look at the ceiling, lead with the chest. Legs dropping toward the floor: keep them stacked over the hips. Bouncing reps: pause at the top instead.
Breathing
Exhale on the crunch, inhale on the way down.
