Standing Toe Touches
This exercise is a great way to improve cardiovascular health, flexibility, and balance.

Step 1: Stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart and your hands extended to the sides at shoulder level.
Step 2: Bend forward at the hips and touch your left foot with your right hand, taking about 1 second to move down.
Step 3: Come back up, then repeat on the other side.
Step 4: This counts as 1 repetition. Try to perform 30 repetitions per set and 3 sets.

You can either perform this exercise on one side at a time or alternate sides, depending on your preference.

As the number of sets increases, this workout will become more challenging, but that’s the goal. Feel free to experiment with different sets and repetitions to determine what works best for you.
