How to do the Hamstring Stretch With Strap

1. Lie on your back with legs extended and arms relaxed by your sides.
2. Loop a strap or towel around the ball of one foot and extend that leg toward the ceiling.
3. Hold the strap ends, gently drawing the leg closer to your body while keeping hips grounded.

Tips

• Keep the bottom leg long and pressing into the floor.
• Flex the lifted foot and maintain a straight leg as much as feels good.
• Stay anchored through your lower back so the stretch targets the hamstrings.

Adjustments

• Leave a soft bend in the lifted knee if straightening fully feels uncomfortable.
