I've taken to doing a light 20 minute stretch routine in the evenings before I go to bed. One of the main problems I've found while working out is when I lay flat on my back, straighten my leg and go to lift it in the air my leg starts to shake. The stretch doesn't hurt in any way so I think that either a) I'm doing something wrong or b) I'm just weak in that area and need to keep practicing.
Also, I've found if I use a robe belt as a yoga strap to hold the same position not only does my leg not shake but I am able to settle deeper into the stretch. Would using the belt be better for me or would it only be hindering the strengthening of my leg muscles?
