How to perform it
- In a seated position with your legs extended, have your partner stand behind you. Now, lean forward as your partner braces your shoulders with their hands. This will be your starting position.
- Attempt to push your torso back for 10-20 seconds, as your partner prevents any actual movement of your torso.
- Now relax your muscles as your partner increases the stretch by gently pushing your torso forward for 10-20 seconds.
Muscles worked
The Seated Hamstring primarily targets your Hamstrings, with support from your Calves. No equipment needed — train it anywhere.
Make it count toward your goal
Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Seated 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.
