Toes to Bar

Toes to Bar

Core & Hip Flexors

WHAT IS IT

Toes to Bar is a gymnastic hanging core exercise performed on a pull-up bar. It demands strong hip flexors, lats, and grip, while building the ability to control your body under tension in a hanging position.

HOW TO DO IT CORRECTLY

  1. 1Hang from a pull-up bar with an overhand grip, arms fully extended.
  2. 2Engage your lats to stabilize — don't just hang passively.
  3. 3Swing your legs back slightly, then drive your feet upward toward the bar.
  4. 4Touch the bar with both feet simultaneously at the top.
  5. 5Lower your legs with control and find rhythm before the next rep.
