- Lying on your back, bring one knee in toward your chest.
- Straighten the top knee as much as you can without pain so the foot is pointing up toward the ceiling. Feel the stretch on the back of the thigh. The thigh should be perpendicular to the torso. If the knee cannot straighten, lower the thigh toward the floor.
- Your bottom leg should be extended straight out on the floor.
- Hold the stretch for at least 30 seconds (per leg!) statically — no bouncing.
