# Basic Toe Touch

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.

## How to do it

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Bend at the hips and reach down towards your toes, keeping your legs as straight as possible.
3. Hold the stretch for a few seconds, feeling the stretch in your hamstrings and lower back.
4. Return to the standing position and repeat the movement.

## Form tips

- Keep your back straight as you bend to avoid straining your lower back.
- Avoid bouncing or jerking movements; perform the stretch slowly and with control.
- Breathe deeply and steadily to help relax your muscles and enhance the stretch.
