  2. Return to your stance and alternate legs.

About Forward Toe Reach

Forward Toe Reach extends a straight leg onto its heel, then reaches the hands toward that foot. The heel stays supported while you explore the forward reach and return.

What to focus on

  • Set the heel down before moving the torso forward.
  • Bring the body upright before changing legs.

Make the movement smaller

Place the heel closer and reach only a short distance, keeping a soft knee if needed.

A mistake to watch for

Rounding or straining to touch the toes. Treat the foot as a direction rather than a required target.

Practice time and pacing

The app assigns 30 seconds to Forward Toe Reach. Use that as a time block, with pauses whenever you need them. Move at the demonstration’s controlled pace; the timer is not a repetition target. Watch the full movement once before following along.

Where you will practice it
