  As a beginner, you can definitely feel the effect that this exercise has on your hamstrings. Just keep in mind that the objective isn't to actually touch your toes, but to put activity on your legs. Those that are unable to touch their toes like myself can still benefit from extended periods of time doing this activity. If you're generally new to maintaining fitness, this is a good workout to start with.

  im a highschool student ive been exercising everyday since the start of pandemic but for some reason is it normal for people to bend and reach the floor while your feet are completely straight and you can even go further to the point that your head almost reach the floor? because while im doing this exercise i dont feel any pain in my legs, maybe im flexible?????
