How to perform it
- Lie on your back with one leg extended above you, with the hip at ninety degrees. Keep the other leg flat on the floor.
- Loop a belt, band, or rope over the ball of your foot. This will be your starting position.
- Pull on the belt to create tension in the calves and hamstrings. Hold this stretch for 10-30 seconds, and repeat with the other leg.
Muscles worked
The Hamstring Stretch primarily targets your Hamstrings. No equipment needed — train it anywhere.
Make it count toward your goal
Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Hamstring Stretch slots into a plan built for your goal — sets and reps set in the plan, logged in two taps, and folded into a weekly check-in that adjusts your calories, macros and step goal.
