Physical Activity Break - Hamstrings
Here is a stretching activity that you can include in your physical activity routine.
Take a moment, now, to practice.
You may find that this brief activity will refresh and energize you.
You can include this at home or in the workplace.
Hamstrings: Sit in a chair and extend one leg forward.
Keep the knee straight with the toes pointed up. Gently lean forward toward your toes.
Take a deep breath in and let it out slowly. Repeat the exercise on the other leg.
You should feel a stretch in the hamstrings and calves.
Reduce or discontinue the stretch if it increases leg pain.
