Standing Hamstring Stretch

This stretch increases flexibility and mobility throughout the hamstring and hip regions.

Instructions

  1. 660_A
    Stand next to an exercise bench. Place one leg on the bench. Stand tall and move your shoulders down.
  2. Standing Hamstring Stretch
    Slightly bend your standing leg and hinge at the waist. Once you feel a stretch behind your lifted thigh, stop and hold this position for the recommended time.

Trainer’s Tips

  • The exercise is meant to stretch the hamstrings, not necessarily the lower back. Keep your chest up tall and your back flat throughout the exercise.
