How to do the toe touch crunch

1
Lie on your back with your legs straight up toward the ceiling, and your arms stretched toward your toes.
2
Crunch your shoulders off the floor and reach your hands up toward your toes, squeezing your abs.
3
Lower slowly back to the floor under control. Breathe out as you reach and in as you lower.

Form tip: Keep your legs steady and bend your knees a bit if your hamstrings feel tight; lift with your abs, not your neck.
