4. Hamstring Stretch

One partner lies face up on a mat, with the left knee bent, foot on the floor; and the right leg

extended straight up towards the ceiling.

The standing partner should hold the extended right leg and gently push it to increase the

stretch.

Hold this for a count of 10.

Next, the lying down partner must push the right leg, against the standing partners' hand for

five seconds.

Release the force and then allow your standing partner to push your leg forward again, back

into the stretch. This time you will notice you can go deeper into the stretch.

Hold for 20 seconds.

Repeat with the other leg; and then switch position with partner.
