Toe Touchers

An abdominal crunch variation performed lying down that targets the upper abs and hip flexors.

Instructions

1. Lie on your back on a mat with your lower back pressed against the floor.
2. Extend your legs upward at approximately 90 degrees to your body.
3. Keep your feet parallel to the floor with a slight bend in your knees.
4. Extend your arms at a 45-degree angle from your body.
5. Lift your torso and reach your hands toward your toes by crunching your abdominals.
6. Maintain contact with the floor through your lower back.
7. Lower your torso back to the starting position in a controlled manner.
8. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Tips

• Keep your lower back pressed against the floor throughout the movement.
• Focus on controlled movement rather than speed.
• Exhale as you lift and inhale as you lower.
• If too challenging, modify by keeping feet on the ground.
• This exercise effectively targets the upper abdominals and hip flexors.
