Hamstring PNF Stretch

This movement uses muscle activation while on stretch to expand the length of your muscles. You'll press at a 3 out of 10 contraction -- just enough to gather more tension, but not enough you're in pain! * Sit down with your legs in front of you. * Hinge forward until your hamstrings and/or calves are on light stretch, then, press your legs into the ground for 10 seconds, lightly contracting the hamstrings and calves. Gently flex your toes up toward your body if that helps you feel the tension through the posterior chain. * Reset and shake out your legs, then hinge forward again to find where your posterior chain is stretched lightly. Repeat again for 10 seconds. * For the final set, reach your arms toward your toes. For the final 5 seconds, slowly drop your head down between your arms, keeping the stretch and any discomfort at a 3/10 or lower.
