Hamstrings: Active Hamstring Stretch

The small movements in this stretch helps you shake out the tightness in the backs of your legs.

  • Standing on your right leg, step your left leg forward with your toes flexed.
  • Reach your left hand to your toes, keeping your back flat — you should feel a gentle stretch in the back of your thigh. Hold this position for just a moment, then place your left food next to your right as you return to standing upright.
  • Switch sides to stretch your right hamstring. Continue alternating sides for 20 to 30 seconds.
