Seated One Leg Hamstring Stretch

Expert Advice

Keep your spine long and avoid rounding your back to prevent unnecessary strain and to target the hamstrings more effectively.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Sit on the floor with one leg extended and the other bent so that the sole of your foot is against your inner thigh.
  2. Turn your torso towards the extended leg.
  3. Reach forward towards your toes, hinging at the hips, and hold the stretch for 15-30 seconds.
  4. Release the stretch and repeat 2-3 times before switching legs.
