Standing Toe Touches
A 200-characters-or-less explanation of the exercise.
Instructions
- Stand up straight with feet shoulder-width apart.
- Slowly bend forward at the hips and extend your arms towards your toes.
- Keep your knees as straight as possible.
- Try to touch your toes or reach as far as you comfortably can.
- Hold the stretch position briefly, then return to the starting position.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Bouncing while trying to reach the toes instead of moving steadily.
- Bending the knees too much which reduces the stretch intensity.
