Hamstring stretch 20-45

Caroline Nilsson is your personal trainer showing you how to do Hamstring stretch 20-45.

Technique

Sit with your back straight and legs angled outward, slightly bent - lift your chest up. Lean forward and stop at 45 degrees or when it will begin to tighten in the back of the thighs, keep back straight and stretch the legs, exhale, relax and feel the muscles stretch.

Tips

Start the stretch with your knees bent, then it is easier to bulge with the butt and keep your back straight, straighten out your legs slowly after a few deep breaths.

Alternatives

Stretch with your knees bent and sit more upright. It is supposed to stretch, not hurt.
