Standing High Leg Bent-Knee Hamstring Stretch
Foot up on a high support with the knee bent, the chest leans in toward it; the bent knee lets the hip fold deep.
How to do it
Setup
Standing, one foot on a table or a bench about hip height, that knee bent.
Steps
- Stand tall on the other leg, hips square to the support.
- Lean the chest in toward the bent knee from the hips.
- Hold and breathe, then lower the leg and switch sides.
Common mistakes
Support so high the standing heel lifts: pick a lower one. Rounding the back to get the chest down: hinge from the hips. Hips twisting away from the raised leg: square them to it.
Breathing
Slow and even through the hold.
