Swing your hands up from the sides, take in a deep breath, and gradually bend forward to touch your toes. You can bend your knees a little. Don’t fret if you are unable to touch your toes – just bend as far as you can. You will be able to touch your toes eventually if you do these stretching exercises daily. Aside from this variation, there are many other forms of forward bends that you can use and modify according to your needs and current flexibility.
