Lying Hamstring

A focused movement for building your hamstrings.

This assisted stretch helps improve hamstring flexibility and mobility, especially with partner support.

Instructions

  1. Lie on your back with both legs extended on the floor.
  2. Have a partner raise one leg toward the ceiling, holding it securely by the ankle.
  3. Attempt to gently bend the raised leg by contracting your hamstrings for 10–20 seconds.
  4. Relax the leg completely, allowing your partner to gently push it toward your head.
  5. Communicate clearly to avoid overstretching or discomfort.
  6. Switch legs and repeat the stretch on the other side.
