Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Lying Toe Touch.
The Lying Toe Touch is a bodyweight abdominal exercise performed on the floor, where you raise your legs to vertical and crunch upward to reach your toes with your fingertips. It provides a strong peak contraction of the rectus abdominis and a mild stretch to the hamstrings.
The Lying Toe Touch is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
