Hamstring Stretch (Lying)
This exercise stretches and strengthens your muscles (hamstrings) which are on the backs of your thighs that attach to the knees.
- Lie on the bed or the floor and bend your both legs.
- Slowly lift your right leg, still bent, and bring it near your chest.
- Place your hands behind your thigh, proximal to the knee joint, and straighten your right leg.
- Pull your straight leg towards your head until you feel any stretch.
- Hold it there for 30 to 60 seconds, then gradually bend your knee and lower your extended leg back to the floor.
- Repeat on the left leg.
