HAMSTRINGS
Single Leg Straight Forward Bend
A seated one-leg stretch that isolates the hamstring and lower back of the working side. Doing it one leg at a time helps you spot and even out flexibility differences between your left and right, and it feels great as a recovery or mobility drill.
How to do it
- 1
Sit tall with your right leg straight out and the left knee bent, sole resting against your right inner thigh.
- 2
Keeping your back long, fold your torso forward over the straight leg.
- 3
Reach toward your right foot until you feel an easy stretch behind the thigh.
- 4
Relax into the position rather than forcing it.
- 5
Hold for about 15 to 30 seconds, then switch and repeat on the other leg.
