Can't touch your toes?
This is a fun party trick / awesome stretch that will get you much closer to touching your toes if you have hamstring, calf, or lower back tightness when bending forward.
Here's how you start it off:
1. Squat down and keep your fingers on the floor the whole time. Your heels will come off the ground and that is okay!
2. Keeping your fingers on the ground, straighten out your legs (hold for 5 seconds) and then squat back down to the ground. Repeat 5 x
3. Do the same motion as in #2, but perform with the toes turned out. Repeat 5x
4. Do the same motion as in #2, but perform with the toes turned in. Repeat 5x
If you have trouble getting down to the floor, you can put your hands on a yoga block instead and gradually work your way down to the floor as you get more flexible.
Let me know what you think!
