 |
Support yourself by resting one knee and foot on the floor and both hands slightly wider than shoulder width apart, palms facing forward.
Keeping one leg off the floor, at about shoulder height, bend at the knee bringing your foot up towards your buttocks in a slow controlled motion, aiming to take 5 seconds for each repetition.
Throughout the exercise aim to keep your back straight, with your knees close together, looking down towards the floor at all times.
Repeat on both sides, aiming to gradually build up the number of repetitions you can perform.
Once you have finished, take a few moments to stretch out your hamstrings afterwards.
