Can someone recommend an exercise for stretching hamstrings?
I found a bunch of stuff via Google but wanted to see if someone had
personal recommendation based on experiences.
I exercise only once a week for about an hour and never had experience
with the hamstrings (they feel very tense lately).
Thanks,
E.S.P.
Lunges?
I just do stretches for mine.
Regular post-workout stretching keeps me flexible, and seems to reduce
DOMS if I do breathing excercizes while I'm at it.
Sit down on the floor with your legs out in front of you in a V, then
lean forward across one leg at a time and grab the upper part of your
foot with both hands. Lean into it and pull slowly and gently. I never
do ballistic stretches. Only static.
Hold the full stretch for several breaths. It feels good!
This one looks even better and is similar:
