How to do the Hamstring Stretch with Strap

1. Lie on your back with your knees bent and loop a strap or band around the ball of one foot.
2. Straighten that leg up toward the ceiling, holding one end of the strap in each hand.
3. Gently walk your hands up the strap to draw the leg closer until you feel a stretch.
4. Keep your shoulders relaxed and breathe steadily as you hold.

Tips

• Keep your hips level and your lower back resting on the floor.

Adjustments

• Use a towel or belt if you don't have a strap.
• Extend the bottom leg along the floor for a deeper stretch, or keep it bent for comfort.
