Lying Hamstring Stretch
This is a stretch for the hamstrings - another muscle that tends to shorten easily with prolonged periods of sitting.

- Lying flat on your back, pull one leg towards your chest keeping it straight.
- Have the other leg straight and flat on the ground or bent at 45 degrees. It doesn’t matter which, just as long as you keep your back flat on the ground and do not allow it to lift-off as you bring the leg towards the chest.
- Keep your head and shoulders on the ground whilst you hold the stretch in the straight leg.
- Hold for 15 seconds as part of a maintenance or post-workout stretch routine.
- Hold for 30 seconds as part of a developmental stretching routine.
