Beginning
Beginning Hamstring Stretch
1. Choose a stretch for a specific muscle and a stance that corresponds to it.
2. Flex the agonist muscle, which is the muscle on the opposite side of the stretched muscle.
3. Hold that position for about 10 seconds, or until the target muscle stretches.
4. You can repeat these instructions for the opposite limb if you're doing a bilateral stretch (both legs or arms).
Movement
Hamstring Stretch Movement
1. Lie down flat on your back. Placing a pillow beneath your head may be beneficial. Straighten both legs parallel to the ground.
2. Raise one leg to the ceiling, keeping it straight, until you feel a stretch in your hamstrings. Hold the position for 10–15 seconds.
3. Lower the elevated leg slightly or bend your bottom leg and rest the foot on the floor for support if your tailbone starts to tuck.
