One move
Standing Hamstring Stretch
Mobility
Lower body
How to read ahead. Do to go one move at a time.
Place one heel on a low step or the floor in front, keep the leg mostly straight, and hinge gently forward from the hips until you feel a comfortable stretch.
Option. Bend the knee slightly if the stretch is too intense. Use a wall for balance. Keep the back long rather than rounding.
