Partner Resistance Exercises: Hamstring Stretch

Video Transcript

"In this exercise, we're going to focus in on the hamstring, the back part of the thigh bicep of the leg. And your partner wants to, you want your partner to flex their foot and you're going to put your hand on the meaty part of the calf muscle as they flex up and use right there that point of attachment in the hamstring and release. Now you can also, if your partner has shoes on, put your hand on the heel, resist up, just make sure that you're not pushing the ankle joint out of line and release down. So either on the meaty part of the calf and coming up and applying resistance so they are activating that back part of their thigh, and release, or here on the heel coming up. Hamstring curl in a prone position working eight to ten reps for beginners, ten to twelve and up, one to three sets."
