- sit on a mat or carpet or something soft and squishy
- form a wide v with your legs(as wide as possible!)
- stretch one arm into the air and go down to one of your feet with a straight arm. (if using right arm go to left foot if using left arm go to right foot)
- hold for 15 secs.
- do the same thing but with your other arm
- hold for 15 secs
- put both arms over your head like you are about to dive into water
- go down as low as you can between your legs
- hold for 15 secs
over time, try to push your nose down to the floor. the more your face is smushed up on the floor, the better your toe touch will be. this exercise is to help stretch your legs out. it will improve both splits and your toe touch. do this exercise everyday for a month or 2 and your toe touch and splits will be perfect!

What is a toe touch?
A physical exercise. you jump up and and have your legs sticking up to the sides and touch your toe a toe touch is a move in cheerleading when you jump in the air and you spread your legs A toe touch is a type of jump frequently used in cheerleading. To properly do a toe touch, you must jump, throw your legs up and to the side, and reach for your toes with your hands. DO NOT LEAN FORWARD! Leaning forward is not a toe touch. You back must be straight. The toe touch, is the most popular move in cheerleading. As many people join cheerleading, that is the first thing they learn. You have to be kind of flexible to do because if you jump up in the air and spread your legs to far you might pull a muscle. So fnow I'm going to tell you how you do a toe touch step bye step. 1. you jump up in the air 2. in the process of you in the air you spread your legs & touch your toes 3. the right hand touches the right foot, & the left hand touches the left foot you actually don't touch your toes; just so you know. you just reach for them. and, if you want to know the truth .. it's not called "spreading your legs", it's called straddling. spreading your legs sounds so disgusting. a toe touch is when someone jumps in the air and does a straddle. ( This is pretty much just doing the spilts in th air) Hope that helps!!!

How do you toe touch?
Toe touching is more difficult then it looks. I went to a cheerleading camp where we cheered for the cowboys and the professional cheerleaders taught us loads of things. One of them was a toe touch. Dont start by trying to jump around in the air you'll probably end up just tearing a muscle. First sit on the floor and spread ur legs about 1m apart. (If u cant take them that far just put them as far as comfortable) Extend your arms over your legs and bring your legs up as far as you can to touch your toes. Do this over and over again each day until you can bring your legs right up. Then you can attempt to jump and toe touch. Start with your arms in "high V". As you bend your knees ready to jump swing your arms down to your abdomen and cross them over. As you straighten your legs and jump swing your arms back up to touch your toes. I hope this helped. If you don't get it straight away keep trying because it isn't easy.
