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. 1

    Sit tall on the floor with your legs extended straight out in front of your hips.

  2. 2

    Fold your torso forward and reach toward your toes until you feel a comfortable stretch in the backs of your thighs.

  3. 3

    Keep your back long rather than rounding hard.

  4. 4

    Hold the stretch for 15 to 30 seconds, breathing steadily.
