Exercise Instructions:
Lie flat on your back on an exercise mat with your legs extended.
Loop a resistance band around the ball of one foot, holding the other end with both hands.
Lift the banded leg straight up towards the ceiling, keeping it as straight as possible while holding the band.
Gently pull on the band to bring your leg closer to your body, feeling a deep stretch in your hamstring.
Ensure your head and neck are relaxed, using the band to assist the stretch without straining.
Hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds, breathing deeply and relaxing into the stretch.
Slowly lower your leg back to the starting position and repeat on the other side.
Key Tips:
Keep your non-stretching leg flat on the ground to maintain stability.
Focus on keeping your banded leg straight to maximize the stretch in your hamstring.
Breathe deeply and relax into the stretch to enhance flexibility.
Avoid pulling too hard on the band; only go as far as your flexibility allows.
