Beginning
Beginning Supine Hamstring Stretch With Straight Leg
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your legs hip-width apart. If you need more support, grab the back of a chair.
Movement
Supine Hamstring Stretch With Straight Leg Movement
1. Lift your left foot off the floor a few inches and rest your right hand on your hip (or chair) (as much as you can and still keep your leg straight).
2. Swing your leg to the right across your body, then out to the left. Don't push yourself to the limit. This is only to get your hip joint warmed up.
3. Switch your swing to forward and back after doing this at least 10 times. Again, don't go as high as you can; aim for a 45-degree angle from your standing leg at the maximum.
4. Switch sides when you're finished.
