Common questions

What can I do instead of the Hamstring Stretch?

The Exercise Ball Seated Hamstring Stretch, Standing Hamstring And Calf Stretch With Strap and Runners Stretch stretch the same area — the hamstrings. Hold each for 20 to 30 seconds per side and stop short of pain, exactly as you would with the original.

Can I combine several of these stretches?

Yes. Stretches combine freely — pick two or three for the same area and cycle through them after training or on rest days.
