Standing Hamstring Stretch
Expert Advice
Keep a slight bend in your knees during the stretch to avoid overextending and potentially straining your hamstring muscles.
How-to-do Steps
- Stand upright and place one foot in front of you on a slightly elevated surface.
- Flex the foot of your extended leg so your toes are pointing up.
- Hinge at the hips and lean forward, keeping your back straight.
- Reach towards your toes with both hands until you feel a stretch in your hamstring.
- Hold for 20-30 seconds, then switch legs.
