Exhale slowly.
Stand with your feet together.
Slowly bend at the waist.
Stretch your arms to the floor.
Bend your knees slightly.
Stretch your fingertips as far as you can to touch your toes Touch your toes if possible.
If you can’t quite make it, don’t worry about it and just go as far down as you can.
Straighten your legs while you are touching your toes, if possible.
You should feel a little strain in the backs of your legs Stop if you experience any pain.
Raise up slowly into your original standing position.
Repeat as many times as you like.
Repeat this cycle until your legs and back are slightly tired.
The length and extent of your exercise will vary based on your level of fitness.
Slowly increase the amount and extent of toe touching as you are able.
Do not overstretch. If you push yourself too hard when your body is not ready for it, you can ‘pull’ a muscle and cause injury to your muscles.
This will set you back even longer before you get back in shape
Rising from the stretch can pull the muscles in your back if done incorrectly.
