Banded Hamstring Stretch

The banded hamstring stretch is a great movement for improving the flexibility in the hips by elongating the hamstring muscle.

Technique:

Start by sitting on the floor

Put a resistance band around your waist and stretch the other end to go around a single foot at the toe

Pull the band towards you, stretching the calf and hamstring

Lay down on your back with your banded leg verticle pointing towards the ceiling

Perform 10 repetitions of heel taps

With your leg verticle, pull the band up and over as if you were trying to touch the opposite shoulder

Allow your banded leg to fall to the ground perpendicular to your other leg and pull upward on the band to create tension in the hamstring

Repeat the above steps on the opposite side
