Toe Touch Stretches. Toe touch stretches, whether from a seated or standing position, are intended to stretch the hamstrings. In these stretches, you bend at the waist and try to touch your toes with your fingers. This action produces a stretching sensation in the back of the thighs and the lower back. Because the lower back is involved in the toe touch, it should not be performed. It carries a high potential for injury.
Being able to touch your toes requires low back, hamstring, and calf flexibility. By statically stretching each of these 3-5 times per week youâll slowly start to see improvements in your flexibility, and eventually be able to touch your toes. To statically stretch your hamstrings, lie on your back and pull lift your thigh so it is perpendicular to the ground. Now, slowly extend your knee, lifting your heel to the ceiling. You should feel a stretch in the back of your leg. Hold this for at least 30 seconds, and repeat 2 more times. Then, switch legs.
