How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 01Stand with your feet about hip-width apart and fold forward from the hips, reaching your hands toward the floor.
  2. 02Soften both knees as needed so the torso can remain relaxed and the position feels controlled.
  3. 03Straighten one leg while bending the opposite knee to increase the hamstring stretch on the long-leg side.
  4. 04Switch the knee positions slowly, shifting the stretch from one hamstring to the other without bouncing.
  5. 05Continue alternating while remaining folded forward, then rise gradually when the set is complete.
