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