- Lying on your back, bring one knee in toward your chest.
- Straighten your top knee as much as you can without pain so your foot is pointing up toward the ceiling. Feel the stretch on the back of your thigh. Your thigh should be perpendicular to your torso. If your knee cannot straighten, lower your thigh toward the floor.
- Your bottom leg should be extended straight out on the floor.
- Hold the stretch for at least 30 seconds (per leg!) statically — no bouncing.
