The standing hamstring stretch progresses from basic hamstring stretches, bridging the gap between simple stretching and mobility exercises.

Teaching point:
This is a convenient stretch if the ground is cold or wet.
- Stand on one leg with the other resting on a bench or similar
- Tilt the hips forward to increase the stretch
- Ease into the stretch and hold, as comfortable – don’t force the stretch!
- Perform 2 sets of 30-second holds, gently easing into the stretch
- Repeat a couple of times a day
