How to perform it
- Lie on your back with your legs extended. Your partner should be kneeling beside you. Raise one leg up towards the ceiling and have your partner hold the ankle. Your partner can use their shoulder to brace your leg if necessary. This will be your starting position.
- With your partner holding your leg in place, attempt to flex the knee, contracting the hamstrings for 10-20 seconds.
- Then relax your leg, allowing your partner to gently push the leg towards your head. Be sure to inform your helper when the stretch is adequate to prevent injury or overstretching. Switch sides once complete.
Muscles worked
The Lying Hamstring primarily targets your Hamstrings, with support from your Calves. You'll need other.
Make it count toward your goal
Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Lying Hamstring 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.
