Let’s talk Toes to Bar 🦶

Our athletes took on “100 toes to bar” challenge last week.

This movement can be one of the most valuable core movements in functional fitness when executed correctly!

But it’s so much more than just developing strong abs. Here are some other ways that this movement can help with your overall fitness:
▪️abs, hip flexors and lower back work together to stabilize while moving - this helps with other lifts and gymnastics skills.
▪️when hanging for this many reps, forearms and shoulders are spending a lot of time under tension and we all know what that means- they’re getting stronger. This means pull ups and other grip intensive movements like barbell cycling are also getting stronger.
▪️raising your legs back in forth in this wide range of motion strengthens those hip flexors and helps with mobility, beneficial for running and jumping!
▪️overall metabolic condition benefits greatly as heart rates can spike almost immediately during this movement

Still working on toes to bar? No problem! This movement is infinitely scalable: knee raises, leg raises and heels to heaven to name a few! Set those toes to bar goals and keep on workin’! ⭐️

We spent Saturday working on some different skills and slowing down - well most of us, there were a few foot races but a class isn’t complete without a little friendly competition!

🪩 Coach ‘s Choice :

30 min EMOM

Min 1: 100ft KB A-carry
Min 2: 15 heavy KB sumo high pull
Min 3: 10 hanging MB knee raises
Min 4: 5-10 HSPU or 10 heavy DB z-press
Min 5: rest

Which stations were your favorite? 👀 ⬇️

No equipment? No problem! 🤷🏻‍♀️

50 sit-ups
40 pull-ups
30 push-ups
20 toes-to-bar
10 wall walks

No barbell. No dumbbells. Just you!

This one starts core-heavy, tests your pulling capacity and challenges your pressing endurance. By the time you hit those wall walks… it’s just about mental toughness!

Bodyweight definitely doesn’t mean easy!

This week’s workout incorporated a movement that can be a bit underrated!

For time:
150 medball cleans
Starting at 1:00 do one wall walk on the minute

💪 Medball Clean
▪️builds power,coordination and conditioning
▪️teaches triple extension (hips, knees and ankles)
▪️reinforces movement pattern needed for barbell cleans
▪️improved timing and coordination - helps athletes get comfortable dropping under and catching in a squat
▪️because the load is lighter, this is a good time to keep intensity high by cycling reps faster and building that anaerobic capacity
▪️reinforces good movement patterns: shrugging, keeping equiptment close to the body, upright torso, full squat depth
