HAMSTRING TUCK STRETCH 3 SETS OF 60 SECONDS

-

Years of sitting with your knees bent has shortened your IT band, putting your tight hamstrings at risk of tearing when you need to push them mid-workout. But there’s no need to quit the day job: instead, add this move to the start of every workout to engage your posterior fascial chain for elastic-like strengthen­ing.

Stand with your feet shoulderwi­dth, hands laced behind your back ( A). Bend forward at the hips, tucking your chin and raising your hands overhead (B). Hold for as long as you can before slowly returning to the start position. Try not to fall over.
