Toe touches are a flexibility and core movement where you reach toward your toes to stretch and strengthen depending on how you perform them. As a standing or seated stretch, they lengthen the hamstrings and lower back; performed lying on your back reaching your hands toward raised feet, they become a core exercise targeting the upper abdominals. For the stretch, hinge at your hips with a flat back and reach toward your toes without forcing or bouncing, easing into the position. For the lying version, raise your legs toward the ceiling and crunch your shoulders off the floor to reach for your toes, keeping your lower back down. Move under control in both variations. Toe touches improve the flexibility of the posterior chain or build abdominal strength, so use the version that matches your goal and keep the motion smooth rather than jerky.
