None of our programs use the Toe Touch
It is in the app, so you can add it to any session and log it like anything else. It is just not written into one of our 50 free programs. If you want a abdominals exercise that is, there are 9 on the Abdominals page.

What Toe Touch trains
Technique
How to do the Toe Touch
- Lie flat on your back with your legs extended straight up towards the ceiling and your arms extended overhead or by your sides.
- Engage your core and lift your shoulder blades off the floor, reaching your hands up towards your toes.
- Pause briefly at the top of the movement, squeezing your abdominals.
- Slowly lower your shoulders back to the floor with control. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Form cues
Getting it right
- Lift with your abdominals rather than pulling with your neck; keep your chin off your chest.
- Keep your legs as straight as possible and pointed towards the ceiling throughout.
- Exhale as you reach up towards your toes and inhale as you lower back down.
- Perform the movement slowly and with control to keep constant tension on your core.

Let the app run the Toe Touch for you
Durata picks the weight, times your rest and adds load when you earn it. That works on any of our 50 free programs, or on a session you put together yourself.
