Foam Roller Hamstring Stretch
- Sit on the ground and position a foam roller underneath your hamstrings (back part of the thigh). Make sure that you begin towards the bottom of the muscle, near the knee.
- Place your hands behind you and lift yourself off the ground.
- Slowly move yourself forward allowing your hamstrings to roll 2 to 3 inches on the foam roller. Pause then roll the other way. Continue the back and forth motion. For a deeper stretch, try stacking one leg over the other.
