Active Hamstring Stretch

Lie on your back and hook a strap, rope, or belt around one foot. Keeping your knee straight, slowly try to bring your leg up to your head using your hip and leg muscles. As you reach the limit of your motion, gently pull the leg a little more using the strap. Hold the position for a few seconds, then return the leg to the ground and start again. Be sure not to point your toes upward. You want to flex your foot so that your toes point toward your head. Exhale as you pull on the strap and stretch.
