BEGINNER
Straight Leg Toe Touch
The Straight Leg Toe Touch is a common stretching exercise that targets the muscles in the back of the leg, including the hamstrings.
Instructions
- Lie on your back in a relaxed position with your arms and legs straight.
- Raise your legs straight until they are perpendicular to the floor.
- Exhale as you reach directly into your toes.
- When your abs are fully engaged, and your upper back is off the floor, slowly lower yourself back to the starting position.
- Complete the prescribed number of repetitions.
Tips
- Exhale as if you are blowing out candles on a cake and hold the contraction for a second to improve brain-muscle connection.
- If your lower back is bothering you during this exercise, choose more stretching and rotation-based movements.
- Try not to put your hands behind your head, as this can put a strain on your neck.
