HAMSTRINGS

Partner Hamstring Stretch

BeginnerBodyweight

This assisted stretch targets the hamstrings with a partner gently guiding the leg deeper than you could reach alone. The added help allows a more controlled, effective stretch, improving flexibility and range of motion. Clear communication between partners keeps it safe and comfortable throughout.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Partner 1: Lie on your back with legs extended, toes up, and arms at your sides.

  2. 2

    Partner 2: Stand over one of Partner 1's legs, adjusting your stance to their height.

  3. 3

    Partner 1: Raise your free leg and straighten it as much as you can, allowing a slight knee bend.

  4. 4

    Partner 2: Support the raised leg with both hands and gently press it toward Partner 1's head.

  5. 5

    Partner 1: Speak up the moment you feel a good stretch; it shouldn't be painful.

  6. 6

    Partner 2: Hold there for the length of the stretch, then switch legs, and later swap roles.
