The strict toes-to-bar is a challenging core exercise that targets the abdominal muscles, particularly the lower abs. To perform the strict toes-to-bar, start by hanging from a pull-up bar with your arms extended and your feet off the ground. Engage your core and lift your legs up towards the bar, keeping your legs straight and your toes pointed. Try to touch your toes to the bar, then lower your legs back down to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of reps.
In CrossFit, the strict toes-to-bar is often used as a strength-building exercise or as part of a high-intensity workout that includes other core exercises or weightlifting movements. The number of reps and sets can be modified to suit different fitness levels, and the exercise can be combined with other abdominal exercises to create more challenging variations. Proper form and technique are important to prevent injury, and a qualified coach can provide instruction and guidance to ensure safe and effective execution.
