Whats the quickest way of streching your ham strings in the legs?

Answer 1

the hamstrings are the group of muscles in the back part of your upper leg, you can stretch them by keeping your knee straight and bending or flexing at the hips.
a good stretch you should stand near a chair prop your heel on the chair, keep your knee straight, slide your hands down your leg until you feel a stretch. hold for at least 30 sec and do 2-3 times

Answer 2

Try the Hurdle Position Stretch. i find this effective!

Start in a sitting position with one leg straight out with your knee flat and your toes up. The other leg should be tucked so that the heel is touching your buttocks. Lean forward, reaching your hands as far as possible. Then lie backwards until you touch the ground making sure that your bent leg is still touching the ground at the knee.

Do an image search for ''hurdle position stretch'' if still unsure.

Answer 3

Quick stretching is dangerous, The safest quickish way is to just warm up, light sretching like reaching for toes with straight legs, reaching for toes with opposite hand with spread legs, hurdlers stretch, where you sit with one leg folded behind you and one straight out in front, then try to reach your outstretched toes.

You should spend at least half an hour stretching and include runs and exercises which involve movement instead of just stretching.

Rushing your warm up can result in bad performance and injury.

Look listen and take heed.
