Lying Hamstring Stretch with Band

Muscles Involved: Hamstrings

Instructions

  • Lie on the floor and loop a band around the middle of one foot and while keeping your other leg as straight as you can and touching the floor.
  • Use the band to pull your leg towards you until you feel a good stretch. The straighter you can keep the leg you’re pulling, the more of a stretch you will feel. Do your best to keep your other leg straight and in contact with the floor.
  • If you do not have a band at home, you can do this stretch with a towel or a belt.
  • Once you’ve held the stretch for 30 seconds, switch legs.
