Push-up Toe Touch

Body WeightIntermediate

Perform a push-up and, at the top of the movement, reach one hand to touch the opposite toe.

  1. Start in a plank position with your hands shoulder-width apart.
  2. Lower your body until your chest nearly touches the ground.
  3. Push back up to the starting position.
  4. At the top, lift your right hand and reach for your left toe.
  5. Return to the plank position and repeat on the other side.

How to perform the Push-up Toe Touch

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Push-up Toe Touch using your body weight.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your primary working muscles.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your working muscles rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
