Stand with your feet hip-width apart. Reach down towards your toes while keeping your legs straight.

  1. Inhale and hinge at your hips.
  2. Exhale as you reach your hands towards your toes.
  3. Hold the stretch for a moment, feeling the stretch in your hamstrings.
  4. Slowly return to the starting position.

How to perform the Front Toe Touching

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Front Toe Touching 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 hamstrings.
  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 hamstrings 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.
