Prepare your lower body with the Toe Touch to Squat exercise, an ideal warm-up to boost mobility and flexibility. This dynamic movement targets hamstrings, hips, and lower back, enhancing overall mobility. Incorporate the Toe Touch to Squat into your regimen to improve flexibility and activate key muscle groups.

Level/Difficulty: Beginner to Advanced

Muscle Group(s): hamstrings, lower back, quads, adductors, calves, core

Equipment: wedge or small book to elevate heels (optional)

Exercise groups: Lower Body Exercises, Full Body Exercises, Lower Body Exercises, Core Strengthening Exercises, Upper Body Exercises, Posture Strengthening Exercises

Coaching Cues:
If your mobility feels limited, you can elevate your heels using a small wedge to help with squat depth.

Before starting:

Be sure to take your time and breathe well throughout to improve overall mobility.

Start in a standing position. Heels can be elevated (optional).
Bend forward to touch your toes. Exhale as you reach, to help stretch your lower back and engage the abs.
Inhale as you slowly descend from the toe touch directly into a squat. Draw and pull your knees forward using your feet. Keep your heels planted.
(Optional) Walk your body forward like an inchworm into a full plank. Walk your hands back into a deep squat.
Stand up from the deep squat. Repeat your reps, starting with your toe touch.
