Use an alignment stick to test and feel body bend

As a drill and a test of your range of movement, the speaker jams an alignment (tour) stick into the ground, stands one foot-length away with the lead foot's toes on the stick's line, and places the hands on the outside of the thighs. He then reaches down the stick as far as possible to get bend through the body - closing the gap between the knees and getting as far from his big toe as he can.
