Glutes

A circular toe touch combines a hamstring and lower-back stretch with a rotational element, moving through a wider arc than a standard static toe touch. It's a dynamic warm-up movement more than a targeted stretch — the constant motion keeps it from settling into a deep, static hold on any one muscle.

How to Do the Hands Clasped Circular Toe Touch (male)

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your hands clasped together in front of your chest.
  2. Bend your knees slightly and hinge forward at the hips, keeping your back straight.
  3. Lower your hands towards your toes in a circular motion, reaching as far as you can without straining.
  4. Pause for a moment at the bottom, then slowly return to the starting position.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
