The 7 Best Hamstring Stretches, According to Personal Trainers

Benefits: This position helps stretch your calves and hamstrings, as well as your lower and middle back.

How to:

• Start by sitting on the floor with your legs extended in front of you, and point your toes towards the ceiling, without bending your knees.
• Exhale and slowly bend forward from your hips, sliding your hands down your legs towards your ankles.
• Try to keep a flat back, and avoid rounding your back towards the ceiling by stretching from the hips, rather than your back.
• Repeat 2-4 times, holding for 30 seconds.
