Why You Can't Touch Your Toes (For Athletes Young and Old)

Even if you are an active person, it's highly probable that you can't touch your toes. A lot of athletes, particularly weight lifters, cannot touch their toes because they do not do the stretching and training required to touch their toes. If you want to be able to do the forward fold and touch your toes, you need to improve your flexibility safely and gradually by loading the muscles and teaching them how to handle a deep fold in the hips.
