Hamstring Stretch - Lying
Lie down on your back on your stretching mat. Bend the knee of the leg that is not to be stretched and place your foot flat on the floor. Raise the leg to be stretched up and hold it by the thigh or below the calf (tip: if you find this hard use a towel behind the leg and hold onto it). Keep your head and shoulders on the ground.
Keep a slight bend in the knee and slowly pull your leg in towards you until the stretch feels a 7/10 and hold for at least 30 seconds. Now repeat for the other leg.
