He does the same exercise, but he doesn't get to the toes either. Though granted, he does go further. "It's all right, don't push it. Straining can make it worse. Just reach as far as you can before it starts to hurt, then pull back, and do it again, maybe five times. Over time your body learns to go a little bit further than the last time, and that's the goal, rather than to touch your toes. Just listen to what your body's telling you your limits are."
