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.
Perform the standing toe touch by assuming a standing position with your feet about shoulder-width apart. Keep your toes forward as if fixed in a pair of skis. Bend at the waist and extend your arms downward toward your toes. Stretch as far as you can until you feel tension in the back of your legs and lower back. Hold this position for 10 to 30 seconds and repeat for two to three sets.
