TOE TOUCH TO SQUAT AND REACH

This is a full body squat warm up exercise. Start with your arms reaching over head and hinge at the hips to touch your toes. Be sure to keep the knees straight as you reach forwards. Pinch grip your toes and bend the knees to transition into a deep squat position. Free one hand and reach up towards the ceiling by rotating your torso. Alternate sides and resume a toe touch deep squat position. Pinch grip the toes once more and straighten the knees to get back into a standing toe touch position. Finally reach back upwards with both arms and repeat as needed.
