Voted up. I can touch my forehead to my knees, but that chair stretch is the first hamstring stretch I do in my warmups. It works amazingly well, and it can very easily be turned into a PNF or STI stretch as well. |

Dr. Andreo Spina is great! as patient of his he has helped me in many many ways. Do yourself a favour and subscribe to his youtube channel and/or follow him on twitter. Tons of solid, useful information. He truely knows his stuff.

Good vid. You can do it without a chair as well, you just have to bend at the waste a bit. Step forward in a staggered stance, knee slightlty bent and bend only at the hips (not the spine). You should feel it only in the hamstrings. |

That's awesome, I have a lot of trouble doing traditional hamstring stretches and I tried the bent knee variety yesterday/today. Works perfect, I can feel it actually stretching the hamstrings instead of the knee crease and calves. |

This is great; I wish I had discovered this years ago. Funny that a simple change in hip position shifts the stretch to the muscle. |
