Front Kick Toe Touch
The front kick toe touch is a rigorous lower body exercise that also engages the arms. This somewhat more advanced exercise provides a great cardiovascular challenge with a high level of exertion in a short amount of time. It can be performed almost anywhere, with or without modifications.

Step 1: Stand with your hands on your hips and your feet shoulder-width apart.

Step 2: Kick your right foot straight out in front of you and try to touch your toe with your left hand. If you can’t reach your toe, reach as far as possible.

Step 3: Return to your starting position and repeat on the other side.

Step 4: This counts as 1 repetition. Try to perform 3 sets of 30 repetitions per set.

This exercise may sound simple, but it is, and it isn’t. Feel free to perform all repetitions on one side at a time or alternate between sides, which can be more challenging.

Tips for Success for Older Adults
° Stand tall with feet hip-width apart and engage your core.
° Lift one leg slowly and kick forward, aiming to gently touch your toes with the opposite hand.
° Keep your supporting leg slightly bent for balance.
° Move slowly and controlled—avoid jerky motions.
° Focus on maintaining stability rather than kicking high.
