Answer: D - Touching the toes while standing is primarily a stretch for the hamstrings. Participants should be instructed to bend gently, allowing their hands to fall toward their feet, so that they feel the stretch in the back of their legs. Participants should not lock out their legs, and should not hold the stretch beyond the point of discomfort. Spinning puts considerable strain on the hamstrings, and does not extend them during the workout, so stretches before and after class are advised.
