Hamstring Stretch

A stretch targeting the hamstrings, improving flexibility and reducing muscle tension.

Instructions

• Stand upright with your feet together.
• Extend one leg forward, keeping the heel on the ground.
• Bend at the hips, keeping the back straight, and reach toward your toes.
• Hold the position for 15-30 seconds, feeling the stretch along the back of the leg.
• Release and repeat on the other side.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Bending the back instead of the hips, causing strain.
• Not keeping the leg straight, reducing the stretch's effectiveness.
• Failing to hold the stretch long enough for it to be effective.
