How to fix Tight Hamstrings with the Seated Forward Bend; stretches hamstrings, groin, spine and shoulders.



Begin by sitting on the ground with your left leg extended and now place the sole of your right foot lightly against your inner left thigh. Lean your upper body forward and slowly bring your chest towards your left thigh and gently reach with your hands for your left foot. Maintain even breathing and get to the point of a mild stretch. Your lower back should be slightly curved and keep you upper back straight and strong. Hold the stretch for 15+30  seconds and repeat for your other side and for best results repeat the stretch two to three times for each leg.



Benefits: Stretching the hamstring will indirectly stretch your hips and pelvis and spine as well so the benefits are great. The hamstring is a commonly tight muscle and can lead to knee pain and low back problems and increased risk of injury. Following a regular stretching routine can help fix tight muscles and improve range of motion, posture as well as overall health.



Good luck with your exercises and health goals and thanks for watching!
