Toes To Bar instructions

Step-by-step instructions

Start by hanging from a pull-up bar with your hands shoulder-width apart and palms facing away from your body.

Engage your core and use it to pull your body up, so your toes touch the bar.

Keep your legs straight throughout the motion, bending from your hips instead of your knees.

At the top of the movement, your body should look like a 'V'.

Slowly lower yourself back down to the hanging position and repeat the movement for the required number of reps.
