Foot On A Step Stretch

Stretch Data
Main Muscle Worked: Hamstrings
Other Muscles Worked: None
Equipment: Other

Video Guide: Windows Media - MPEG

Tips: Start of by putting your front foot on some sort of step or low wall about two to three feet high. Face the step head on and slowly bend your lifted knee. You can keep your spine vertical or inclined slightly forward. Be sure to keep your lifted knee over your ankle—don't let it shoot out over your toe as you bend the front knee. To Maintain a healthy knee angle, press your weight into the heel, not the ball, of your foot. Although you'll certainly get a buttocks stretch here on your front, bent leg, concentrate on lengthening the hip of the back, extended leg. Switch sides.
