Hamstring mobility
Hamstring mobility: written movement steps, equipment and example doses. General information to help you choose an appropriate starting point.
How to do it
- Put one heel slightly in front with the leg nearly straight. Push your hips back with a long spine until you feel a gentle stretch down the back of the thigh; ease out and repeat.
- Keep it controlled enough that you could stop the rep cleanly at any point.
Equipment
- none
Example variations
The written steps above use one library example. These other doses are separate options, not instructions to complete every variation or progress automatically.
| Level | Example dose | Equipment |
|---|---|---|
| beginner | 3 minutes | none |
| advanced | 4 minutes | none |
| standard | 3 minutes | none |
Safety and comfort
- What it should not feel like: sharp pain, tingling or pulling behind the knee
