Standing Hamstring Stretch
What It Does: stretches tight hamstrings and lower back
How To Do It:
- Find leveled ground
- Spread your legs to a comfortable distance and point your feet slightly out
- Keep your legs straight as you bend over to the right side and reach for the toes
- If you can’t reach your toes, aim for the outside of your ankle.
- If you feel stable, extend your left arm over your head (like the photo)
- Hold for 30 seconds
- From your right side, move over to the center, in between your legs, and try to touch the ground
- If you can touch the ground with ease, try placing your hands flat on the ground.
- Hold for 30 seconds
- From the center, move your hands to your left side and reach for your toes
- Extend your right arm over your head
- Hold for 30 seconds
- Go through this cycle as least twice
