The important thing to remember is - this was quickly gained fl

Hamstring Stretch ✅ There is nothing inherently bad about rounding our spine when stretching our hamstrings. However, we would want to round forward after our hamstrings has been put at length, not backwards with literally zero stretch on the hamstrings. To put the hamstrings at “full length” we do 3 things… ✅ Anterior Pelvic Tilt (APT) ✅ Lean Forward (Hip Flexion) ✅ Keep legs straight (Knee Extension) ❌ If you can’t sit on a 90 degree angle (torso/legs) and you find your self sitting almost in

COOL DOWN: 🧊 Forward Fold- deep breath in as you reach up, and long controlled breath out as you roll forward pulling your chest to your knees. Release back up slowly and focus on each vertebrae stacking up. 🧊 Kneeling Hip-Flexor- make sure your front foot is out far enough to make this effective, place your hands on your knee and with your shoulders straight and down, chest up, push with your hands and drive your hips down.
