Technik-Tipps
It's important to keep your legs straight to effectively stretch the hamstrings. However, avoid locking your knees as this could lead to injury. A slight bend in the knees is acceptable and can help avoid undue stress on the joints.
If you cannot reach your toes without bending your knees or rounding your back, consider using a yoga strap or a towel. Loop it around your foot and gently pull it towards you while keeping your spine straight.
Remember to breathe deeply and regularly during the stretch. This helps to relax the muscles and allows a deeper stretch. Holding
