Focus on the ROOT of the issue... 👇🏼 Here’s how! Are you still bending over trying to stretch your hamstrings, but they never seem to loosen up? That move is one of the biggest reasons people stay tight. Most tight hamstrings are not actually a hamstring problem. Your hamstrings are meant to have tension. They act like springs when you walk and run. The real issue is usually your hips, specifically the deep hip rotators. Instead of stretching the symptom, you need to address the source. Grab something stable for balance. If you want to stretch your left side, stand on your left leg and lift your right leg so it stays parallel to the ground. Rotate your torso toward the side you are stretching, drop your chest, and look underneath your arm. You should feel a deep stretch in the back of your hip. Once you feel that, push your knee straight back. That stretch should travel from the back of your knee all the way up to the top of your hip. Now you are actually stretching your hip and your hamstring together. Hold that position for five seconds, then rotate the opposite direction and repeat. Perform ten reps, holding each stretch for five seconds. This helps eliminate the hip tightness that is creating the hamstring tension in the first place. You are fixing the root cause, not just stretching the symptom. Try this once a day, especially before a walk, and notice how much better your lower body feels. Get better, not older. #Hamstrings #hipmobility #stretching
