Toes-to-bar trains the abs and hip flexors. These instructions describe the kipping variation.

Muscle group: Abdominal

Steps

Begin a controlled hanging swing, moving your feet forward and backward and passing the motion through your hips and shoulders. Alternate a slight arch with a hollow-body position. Use the forward swing to raise your straight legs forcefully toward the bar. Once your toes touch the bar or pass your arms, bring your feet quickly down into a hollow position. Avoid letting your feet travel too far backward on the return so you retain tension and timing for the next repetition. Keep your head neutral between your arms.
