HAMSTRINGS

Crossover Standing Forward Bend

BeginnerBodyweight

This standing forward bend adds a leg crossover, which shifts the stretch onto the outer hamstring, glutes, and sides of the lower back of the rear leg. Crossing the legs targets tightness that a straight forward fold can miss. It's a useful addition to a cooldown or mobility routine for hamstring flexibility.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Stand with your feet under your hips.

  2. 2

    Cross one leg in front of the other so the front leg blocks your back knee from bending.

  3. 3

    Hinge forward from the hips and reach your hands toward the floor.

  4. 4

    Go only as far as your flexibility allows; you may not reach the ground.

  5. 5

    Feel the stretch along the hamstring of your rear leg and hold for the length of the stretch.

  6. 6

    Switch sides and repeat.
