How to perform it

  1. Stand with some space in front and behind you.
  2. Bend at the waist, keeping your legs straight, until you can relax and let your upper body hang down in front of you. Let your arms and hands hang down naturally. Hold for 10 to 20 seconds.

Muscles worked

The Standing Toe Touches primarily targets your Hamstrings, with support from your Calves. No equipment needed — train it anywhere.

Make it count toward your goal

Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Standing Toe Touches slots into a plan built for your goal — sets and reps set in the plan, logged in two taps, and folded into a weekly check-in that adjusts your calories, macros and step goal.
