Hamstring & Back Stretch
One foot is placed slightly in front of the other, with the front leg straight and the back leg slightly bent. Bending forwards, the hands slide down the front of the shin. The stretch is felt in the back of the knee.
The toes are pushed down to the floor to feel the stretch more in the middle of the hamstring muscle.
The stretch is then repeated on the other side.
Note: Keep your pelvis square on to the surface you are stretching on and don't rotate to the side. Also, by bending the knee slightly, stretching of the upper part of the hamstring muscles is more effective.
