Standing Single Leg Hamstring Stretch
What It Does: stretches and targets lower back and single hamstring
How To Do It:
- Find a rock or something raised above ground level (the higher the object, the deeper stretch you will get)
- Place your left heel on the object and keep your left leg straight
- Make sure your standing leg is not locked out and has a slight bend in the knee
- Draw in your core (belly button to spine) and bend at the hips
- Reach for the toes of your left leg
- If you can’t reach your toes, reach for your shin
- You should feel a nice stretch down the back side of the left leg and your back
- Hold for 30 seconds
- Switch sides
