Kneeling Toe Up Hamstring Stretch
On one knee with the other leg straight ahead on its heel, toes pulled up, hinge forward; the upturned toes bring the calf into it.
How to do it
Setup
One knee down on a mat, the other leg straight ahead on its heel, toes pulled up.
Steps
- Hinge forward over the straight leg with a flat back.
- Reach one hand toward the toes; the other steadies you.
- Hold and breathe, then switch legs.
Common mistakes
Rounding to reach the toes: fold from the hips, back flat. Front foot rolling out to the side: toes pointing straight up. Bare knee on a hard floor: pad it before the hold.
Breathing
Slow and even through the hold.
