Crab Twist Toe Touch

Muscles involved

If you want to boost your overall agility and build superior body control, the Crab Twist Toe Touch is a fantastic choice using just your bodyweight. This dynamic movement constantly challenges your coordination as you reach across your body to connect opposite hand and foot, forcing your obliques and abdomen to fire up intensely to keep you steady during every twist. Meanwhile, your glutes and hamstrings work behind the scenes to keep your hips lifted off the floor. The core stability and athletic balance you gain from this exercise carry over directly to functional sports performance, teaching your core to react with solid control whenever you shift weight quickly.

How to do it

1. Get into a crab position, supported on your hands and feet, with your body and head facing upward. 2. Lift one leg and the opposite arm to try to join them in front of your body, maintaining balance. 3. Return to the starting position in a controlled manner, activating your core for greater stability. 4. Repeat the movement with the opposite leg and arm, alternating with each repetition.
