HAMSTRINGS
Standing Forward Bend
BeginnerBodyweight
A simple standing stretch that lengthens the hamstrings, lower back, and calves along the whole back line of the body. It's an easy way to open up the posterior chain and works well as part of a cool-down or a gentle mobility session.
How to do it
- 1
Stand tall with your feet about hip-width apart.
- 2
Fold forward from the hips, letting your torso drop toward your legs.
- 3
Reach your hands down past your feet until you feel a comfortable pull behind your thighs.
- 4
Let your head and neck relax as you hold.
- 5
Hold for roughly 15 to 30 seconds, then rise slowly to standing.
