Coach's Tips

This stretch targets your hamstrings to reduce leg fatigue and boost flexibility. It also helps prevent back pain.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart

1. Lean your upper body forward with a straight back

2. Grab your toes or shins with both hands

3. Hold for 10-20 seconds until you feel a stretch

4. Slowly return to the starting position

Exhale as you bend forward, and breathe naturally while holding the stretch.

Keep your back straight, don’t round it. Move slowly, no bouncing. Stop when you feel a stretch, not pain.
