Hamstring Stretch
Hamstring Stretch is part of the guided warm-up and cool-down in DCFT.
Hold for time
How to do it
- Place one leg straight out in front
- Bend the back knee slightly
- Lean forward from the hips with a long back
- Hold where you feel the stretch in the back of your thigh: then switch sides
Coach’s tip
Your back stays straight: the stretch comes from tilting the pelvis, not from rounding. No bouncing.
