hamstring stretches

Thigh back looseners

Hamstring stretches are exercises that lengthen the muscles running along the back of the thigh.

Common forms include touching your toes while standing or seated, or lying on your back and pulling a straightened leg toward your chest.

I do hamstring stretches before every run.
