FAQ

What muscles does the Opposite Leg Toe Touch work?

The Opposite Leg Toe Touch primarily works the Core.

What if I can't do many reps yet?

Shorten the range or use an easier variation, and stop 1 to 2 reps before failure. Reps build fast when you train just shy of your limit.

One side at a time?

Yes, it's a unilateral movement. Start with your weaker side and match the reps with your stronger side so no side gets ahead.
