HAMSTRINGS
Seated Forward Bend
BeginnerBodyweight
The seated forward bend stretches the hamstrings and lower back by folding over legs extended straight in front of you. It's a simple, effective way to build flexibility through the posterior chain and ease lower-back tension. It fits naturally into a cooldown to help recovery and range of motion.
How to do it
- 1
Sit tall on the floor with your legs extended straight out in front of your hips.
- 2
Fold your torso forward and reach toward your toes until you feel a comfortable stretch in the backs of your thighs.
- 3
Keep your back long rather than rounding hard.
- 4
Hold the stretch for 15 to 30 seconds, breathing steadily.
