English term or phrase: toe touches
Estoy traduciendo la declaración de postura de la NAMS de 2010 sobre osteoporosis y me falta afinar algunos detalles antes de entregarla.

"Exercise for women with osteoporosis should not include high-impact aerobics or activities in which a fall is likely, such as exercising on slippery floors or step aerobics. Activities requiring repeated or resisted trunk flexion, such as sit-ups or **toe touches**, should also be avoided because of the increased loads placed on the spine during such activities that may result in spine fracture."

Sit-ups se conocen como abdominales. También eh escuchado sentadillas.

¿Cómo se traduce "toe touches"?

Muchas gracias

disagree  Luis Antezana: Linguee is not always accurate. "Lagartija" is a "push up"

Abdominales con piernas levantadas


Explanation:
There are so many options in Spanish, none of them official. When it comes to workout routines English has the best names for them, and they are so widely well known that in a lot of places in latin america, they use the name in English. Here you have some suggestions:

Abdominales tocando pies
Abdominales con piernas levantadas
Abdominales con piernas en vertical
