forward bend
Touch your toes
A forward bend is a position or movement where the upper body folds toward the legs, hinging at the hips.
The term appears most often in yoga and stretching, where forward bends target the hamstrings and lower back: Hold the forward bend for thirty seconds.
Standing or seated variations exist, ranging from gentle stretches to deep folds where the torso meets the thighs.
