How to Standing Hamstring Stretch

Starting Position

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.

Proper Form

1. Keep your back straight and slowly bend your upper body forward.

2. Grab the toes or shins of your extended legs with both hands.

3. Bend until you feel a stretch in the back of your thighs and hold for 10 to 20 seconds.

4. Slowly raise your upper body back to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when bending your upper body, and breathe naturally while maintaining the stretch.

Precautions

Do not round your back; keep it straight. Do not bend with a bounce, and move slowly. Only go to the point of feeling a stretch, not pain.
