Extend one leg straight out in front of you, placing your heel on the ground while keeping your toes pointing up.
Slowly bend forwards from your hips, keeping your back and extended leg straight.
Reach towards your extended foot with your hands as far as is comfortable, feeling a stretch in the back of your thigh.
Hold this position for about 20-30 seconds and then switch to the other leg, repeating the process.
Pro Tip
Keep Your Legs Straight But Not Locked: It's important to keep your legs straight to effectively stretch the hamstrings. However, avoid locking your knees as this could lead to injury. A slight bend in the knees is acceptable and can help avoid undue stress on the joints. Use a Prop If Needed: If you cannot reach your toes without bending your knees or rounding your back, consider using a yoga strap or a towel. Loop it around your foot and gently pull it towards you while keeping your spine straight. Control Your Breathing: Remember to breathe deeply and regularly during the stretch. This helps to relax the muscles and allows a deeper stretch. Holding
