Description:
  1. Place your feet into your squat stance.
  2. Hinge your hips back and go down and grab under your toes to achieve a hamstring stretch in this toe touch progression.
  3. After accentuating this hamstring stretch for a second or so, bend your knees and drop your butt down into a squat stance, pulling yourself down into this position with your hands.
  4. As you reach the bottom of your squat, your knees should drive out, chest should raise up and your spine should remain in neutral alignment.
