Instructions:
- 1Sit on the floor with your legs extended out in front of you.
- 2Bend one knee, and place the sole of that foot against the inside of the opposite thigh.
- 3Keeping your back straight, lean forward from the hips to feel a stretch in the hamstring of the extended leg.
- 4Hold this stretch for 15-30 seconds.
- 5Return to the starting position and repeat with the opposite leg.
Tips:
- Avoid rounding your back when bending forward.
- Go only as far as you can without pain - a gentle stretch is the goal.
- Make sure to relax your thighs and hips as you stretch.
- Breathe deeply and slowly during the stretch.
