How do you get a higher toe touch?

Always be stretching. Stretch in the toe touch position whenever, watching TV, doing homework...\nRemember to point those toes! It actually lifts your legs and helps them go higher! \nWhat makes a lot of people's toe touches not good is they are not high. That is because they are reaching for their feet. NO! Bring your feet to your hands, don't go to your feet. That will weigh you down. \nGood posture also helps, that's why you must always be stretching, even take up some yoga if you can, or sit on one of those gravity balls in your free time instead of a regular chair to help you sit upright.\n\nGood luck!

Lay on your side, bend lower leg for stability, raise top leg and lower slowly, ten reps, (point toe downwards)\nchange sides. Good luck.

The problem people have with toe touches is this: They want to bring their hands to their feet, but their feet are really low which brings their toe touches DOWN.\nBring your feet up to your hands, keep your hands up! Also, make sure to keep your back upright ands straight as possible.\nPractice sitting in the toe touch position as much as you can, like while watching TV or doing homework. \n\nI'd say do the same things with herkies, except in herkie position.\n\nGood luck!

Because some of us can't pick it up with our toes. How else do we do it??

Put your arms up, lean forward, put your arms on the ground and push off the ground hard!  This should work.  Think hand  hand, foot foot, hand up, hand up.

It may not make you run faster but you may can take turn better which would speed up your time. Since an extra toe will help you balence better.

squat all the way down with your derriere just above the floor and walk in a squated position as if you were pretending to be a duck and walk walk walk in that squatted position. You'll quickly start feeling your calves working hard. Also, if you lift your body in a controlled manner, with your metatarsals (on your tip toes) like in ballet, that works your calves as well. Your toes should be pointing outward not forward (think ballet positions -this would be first position). Hold our glutes, abs and the rest of your body up don't relax them and always keep your body controlled. Push yourself up from your calves and metatarsals. I hope I described these excersices enough to where you understand what I mean. Good luck!

last year at this time i couldnt even touch my toes! no joke, now i can do the splits, and of course touch my toes no prob! it only took about 3-4 months of stretching everyday to get me in my splits. the key is to stick with it everyday. im sure you know the "lunge" stretches to strecth out your groin before doing the splits, so i do those and then go down as far as you can. \n\nwhat i do everynight is a couple different groin stretches first on my right, then on my left, then one back on my right then i go down and hold it for 30 secs to a min, then i come up, do a groin stretch on my left and go down on that side for 30 secs to a min. then i go down on each side 2 more times for the same amount of time. \n\nits a good stretch. also, to stretch it even more, while in the splits put your elbows on the ground if you can (on opposing sides of the front leg) and if you can do that see if you can lay yourself down on top of the leg. it stretches even more!\n\nwell happy stretching, and remember, practice makes perfect!

I was in your shoes 3 years ago. I needed to develop my vert. What helped me? Your local athletic store...or on eastbay.com sells this show that makes you walk on your tippy toes and play ball on your tippy toes. This may seem stupid but it helped me soo much! By standing on your toes for long periods of time, it builds the muslce necessary to increase your verticle leap. On days you dont use the shoes, do repetitive jumping. That will help you build your quads. Your quads is 1/4 of the contributor to your leap. But those shoes are sooo crucial. Best of luck! I think this should help you!

Keep ur feet washed and toe nails clipped neatly, if you have rough skin use petroleum jelly on your feet and sleep with socks it makes them really soft.

Here are a couple that I do.  I sit on the floor legs out together in front of me,then have the foot flexed and reach over your legs to your feet....do the same but have foot pointed. She can just flex and point her feet too.    This other one you need to have something to hold onto.  Stand up and flex one foot and lift the leg to the side about 4 times,then do for the other leg.  After that kick the leg behind you.  This one can have the foot pointed too.      I experience tightness in my legs and these exercises help me.

Toe raises will help you get there, No fancy equipment needed, just get your toes on a 2x4 up and down. i think squat thrusts would hellp too.\n\nDamn 6'6 and you couldnt dunk?
