Seated Hamstring Out Kick

Seated Hamstring Kick Out Stretching

Positioning

1. Start by sitting on the floor with your legs extended in front of you. Ensure that your back is straight and your shoulders are relaxed.
2. Bend your knees and bring them towards your chest, placing your feet flat on the floor.
3. Hold onto your knees or shins with both hands, maintaining a comfortable position.

Movement

1. While keeping your back straight, slowly extend one leg out in front of you, keeping your heel on the ground and your toe pointed upwards. You should feel a stretch in the hamstring of the extended leg.
2. Hold this position for a few seconds, ensuring that your other knee remains close to your chest.
3. Return to the starting position by bending the extended leg back towards your body.
4. Repeat the extension on the opposite leg.
5. Continue alternating legs for 10-15 repetitions on each side.

Tips

- Maintain a relaxed posture; avoid hunching your back.
- Breathe deeply and steadily throughout the exercise.
- If you feel any discomfort, ease off the stretch to a comfortable position.
