Toes-to-Bar
Also known as: hanging straight leg hip raise, toes to bar, t2b, legs to bar
Toes-to-Bar is a compound exercise for the abdominals. Main target: lower abs. Also works: rectus femoris, lats and forearm flexors. No equipment needed — just your bodyweight.
Muscles worked
How to do it
- Hang from a pull-up bar with an overhand grip, arms straight and shoulders active.
- Brace your core and raise your straight legs, lifting the hips so your toes travel up toward the bar.
- Touch the bar with your toes, then lower the legs under control back to the hang.
- Avoid swinging — generate the movement with your abs, not momentum.
