**What It Does and the Benefits:**
Standing Crossover Toe Touches are a dynamic stretching exercise that target the hamstrings and obliques primarily. This exercise also engages the lower back and glutes as secondary muscles. The dynamic nature of the stretch helps to improve flexibility, enhance blood flow to the targeted muscles, and prepare the body for more intense physical activity. Additionally, this movement is excellent for improving core stability and coordination.
