フォームのコツ
Avoid bouncing or using sudden movements while stretching. This can lead to muscle strain or injury. Instead, slowly lean forward from your hips (not your waist) towards your extended leg until you feel a gentle stretch in your hamstring.
Hold the stretch for at least 15-30 seconds while breathing deeply and relaxing your muscles. Many people make the mistake of holding their breath during stretching, which can increase muscle tension and hinder the stretch.
Consistency is key for any form of exercise, including stretching. Aim to perform the hamstring stretch regularly, ideally as part of your daily routine.
