Tight Hamstrings? Do This Daily to Improve Your Forward Fold

Hi everyone 👋🏽 If you’re working towards a deeper forward fold or struggling with tight hamstrings, this routine combines hamstring stretches for flexibility with strengthening exercises to help you improve your forward fold. Earlier this year I injured my hamstring and completely lost my forward fold. During my recovery I had to rebuild my flexibility from the beginning, and I actually ended up becoming more flexible than I was before my injury. These are some of the hamstring stretches and exercises that helped me get there. We’ll be working on hamstring flexibility, strengthening the hip flexors and practising the correct positioning needed for a deeper forward fold. Rather than simply forcing yourself deeper into a stretch, the goal is to build the flexibility, strength and confidence needed to comfortably maintain the position. I recommend following this routine daily for the next week. Take a photo or video of your forward fold today so you can compare your progress at the end of the week. This is week 1 of the challenge. Next week I’ll be uploading a more advanced routine where we’ll intensify the stretches and continue working towards a deeper forward fold.
