Hamstring Sweeps

A combination of dynamic sweeps and static holds to release tight hamstrings.

Setup

Stand or sit with one leg extended, gently hinging forward from the hips.

How to do it

1. Sweep through a gentle forward hinge a few times to warm up the hamstring.
2. Settle into a comfortable stretch and hold, breathing steadily.
3. Ease slightly deeper into the stretch with each exhale.
4. Switch sides and repeat.

Coach's notes

Move slowly and stay well within a comfortable range — this is about release, not pushing to your end range. Stop if you feel any sharp pulling.
