What are the benefits of Basic Toe Touch?
1.
It makes your hamstrings, lower back, and calves more flexible. Doing it regularly helps you bend and stretch more easily.

It strengthens your core muscles (your belly muscles). Keeping your core tight while doing the toe touch helps build strength in your stomach area.

How to do Basic Toe Touch?
1.
Bend Slowly: As you breathe out, bend from your hips, not your waist. Imagine a hinge at your hips; that's where the bending should happen.
2.
Reach Down: Try to touch your toes. It's okay if your knees bend a little to help you reach.
