What is the best way to stretch your hamstring?

Lie on your back. Bring your knee towards your chest. Clasp your hands behind your thigh. Straighten the knee. Hold for 5-10 deep breaths. You may pull your toes back towards you for an additional stretch.

1) stand up straight with your arms hanging by your side. Roll your shoulders up and back, and leave them there. That's how a natural proper posture should be. (Straight line from feet to head, not hunched over).

2. Engage your core muscles i.e. Abs lightly, to make sure your body keeps the correct posture.

3) Put the palms of your hands on the front of your thighs (where the front pockets would be).

4) to make it a stretch, bend forward from your WAIST line while still touching your thighs.

The stretch wouldn't work if you don't keep your posture. Make sure to always have a straight back to actually make it effective.

Even just an inch or two sliding your hands along your thighs downwards, will make this a grade A stretch. Trust me, you'll feel it immediately.

NOTICE: this stretch is the simplest, most effective one i know for your hamstrings.

However – this is somewhat of a 'pro' stretch! It should be performed very gently and slowly. You'd be surprised how fast you'll reach your maximum range of movement. The hamstrings are known to be a delicate muscle; one that is prone to injuries and being over-stretched/worked-out it. Be cautious.

Forward folds with a slight flex in your knees. bringing your chest to your quads.
If you are sitting with your legs extended, when you reach toward your flexed feet ,fold your torso down but remember to keep a straight back, no curving on the back. And as you are getting more comfortable , try straighten your legs.

Well there are 2 types of hamstring stretches I prefer. One is the seated hamstring stretch and the other is a wall hamstring stretch. You can find videos online on how to do these

To stretch you hamstring you can stand up, keep one leg slightly bend and stretch the other. Push slightly above your knee until you feel the stretch in you hamstring. Second Variant which I really like is lying on your back, place one leg on a slight angel and stretch the other one into the air. Support on the back of your knee and bend until you feel the stretch in your hamstring.

I like to do straight leg stretches on either side. I will lay on my back and pull each leg up for roughly 30 sec per side. I also do back stretches to loosen my hamstrings. Laying on the floor and laying you legs to the side while you twist the opposite way or bend a leg in front of you and stretch the other out to loosen your hips to help with hamstrings.

Lay down flat on the ground and wrap either a workout band or towel around your foot. Hold the towel/band with your hands and pull the leg up, keeping it straight the entire time. Stretch as needed then switch sides

I am not sure I usaly wake upp and waiting a few seconds before starting stretching and moving all your arms and foot as far away from you as you can att all diroctions.

You can stretch the hamstring most effectively by stretching the leg that you want to stretch and to bend over at the waist and try to touch your toes without bad posture.

i think the best way to stretch your hamstrings is too do some forward and backwards lunges and too place ur hand on the wall and have ur feet behind each other and lean on the foot that’s in front for like 20 seconds

Sit on the floor, straighten the leg you want to stretch. With the other leg bed it so your foot is somewhere around your knee but wherever is comfortable. It is critically important that you keep your back straight during the stretch even if you can't touch your foot it's far better to keep you back straight. Gently lean towards your foot, if you can reach it grab it but try to keep your foot relaxed. Aim for tension but not pain

Hah it takes one second to get out of bed . So why don’t just get out drink water, eat break first ,lay out ur yoga mat and stretch for 20 mins .. u will feel awake , u will feel better and accomplished . Some days I stay in bed but i can still stretch in the afternoon , don’t give up , just do it went u can !! And a bad habit that I have is that I put things that I don’t do on complete, what I should do is do it tomorrow.

Sit on the floor with your legs stretched out in front of you. Make sure your legs are flat on the floor. Bend forward at the hips keeping your back straight and arms stretching forward reaching for your feet. Hold for 30 seconds then bend your legs giving your hamstrings a chance to rest. Repeat 3-5 times trying for a deeper stretch each time for a proper stretch.

Extend your leg out as far as you feel comfortable, no pain. Bend the opposite leg at the knee as far down as you can comfortably. You should feel a slight pulling in your inner thigh where the hamstring is of the leg that is extended. Straighten both legs and switch sides.

I think the best way is still the old way just like in gym class. Sit on your bottom with outstretched legs and slowly lean your torso and arms to reach your toes.

Well, I'm no expert so I would suggest to approach it in a progressive manner. Like, don't force yourself to be able to do it in one try. Do it in increments. Massage the area that's starting to hurt a bit. Try to keep at that position until it doesn't hurt as much as it used to before. Only upgrade the level of difficulty once you've mastered your current level. Quality will always be better than quantity. Lesser chances of getting injuries are the result of you going at it in your own pace.

For me, I just stand up and bend down all the way until I feel my hamstrings stretching and hold it for 30 seconds, along with other stretches.

Try sitting on the floor with one leg out straight and the other leg bent at the knee and position the sole of that foot against your opposite inner thigh. Extend your arms and reach forward over the one straight leg by bending at the waist as far as possible.
Push forward with at exhale breath for deeper stretch. Relax. Repeat with the other leg. After straightening both legs and keep together and reach for as far as can and hold for 10 – 15 secs.

In my opinion it is doing a mcouple of lunges and cardio to warm up the body and help your muscles expand faster and easier

Search up the ATG elephant walk – the ATG system is the best system i’ve seen so far for improving muscle flexibility, mobility and tendon strength as well

I start from my neck, moving it from side to side and moving my chin to the front trying to touch my chest. Then I movr8 my shoulders to the front in a circular motion and then back in the same circular motion. Then come my armas I pull them up like I am trying to touch the sky. Then I pull them down like rubbing my body sides trying to touch my kness. Then I pull my arms to my back like I am trying to touch something. Lastly, I pull my knee up, alternating my legs like I am climbing a stair with very high steps. Then I roll my feet to the right and then to the left. I am all done, energized and refreshed.

All you need to do is:
1. Sit down on the floor
2. Make your legs straight
3. Take your hands and stretch them over, towards your feet or toes
4. Hold that position for about 5-10 seconds
(If you can't stretch to touch your toes. Don't worry. With time you WILL. So just take your time and trust your body!)

I cant think from the top of my head, but google is your friend. Just remember to go easy. Feel it stretch, but if it feels uncomfy or painfull pull back a bit.

U make sure that muscle area d wamed up first. This are the hamstrings, do some squats then use my yoga trapeze to stretch out the hamstring and calf muscle. I put one foot/ankle in the sling, then progress my foot forward until I feel a nice stretch in the hamstring, but not pain should be happening, if so then I must fall back a little. Hold for at least 30 seconds, breathing in and out my nose.

i like the pull your knee in stretch and the sit and reach. i can really feel my hamstrings elongate and relax when i use those stretches after a long day or after a workout.

You could possibly sit on the floor with both legs out straight, then extend your arms and reach forward by bending at the waist as far as you can.

1. Sit on the floor with both legs out straight.
2. Extend your arms and reach forward by bending at the waist as far as possible while keeping your knees straight.
3.Hold this position for 15 to 30 seconds.
4.Relax back into the starting position.
