Hurdler Stretch

How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

1. 01Sit with one leg extended forward and the other knee bent comfortably to the side, keeping the bent knee in a pain-free position.
2. 02Turn the torso toward the straight leg and sit tall on both sitting bones as evenly as possible.
3. 03Hinge forward from the hips and reach toward the shin or foot without forcing the back to round.
4. 04Hold when you feel a mild stretch through the hamstring and inner thigh, keeping the straight knee softly unlocked if needed.
5. 05Return upright slowly, reposition the bent leg safely, and repeat on the other side.
