Hamstring Stretches
How
to Stretch Your Hamstring
1.
Lie flat on the floor on your back. Keep your lower back pressed to the
floor. Bend both knees up and keep your feet flat on the floor. Bring
your hands to the back of your right thigh and slowly straighten and raise
your leg.
2.
Pull your leg gently towards your torso until you feel a stretch in the
hamstring at the back of your leg. Hold for a count of 20. Repeat exercise
on alternate legs.
Hamstring
Stretching Tip
As
this stretch gets easier, keep the resting leg straight out in front of
you instead of bent. This stretches the hamstring more effectively.
