I’ve been practicing Pilates for the past decade, and toe taps are often my go-to when it comes to working my deep core. I used the move as soon as it was deemed safe after the birth of my son to strengthen my core and pelvic floor muscles, and I’m still using it pretty much daily two years later to improve stability as I train for my next marathon.
