How to do a towel hamstring stretch

Lie on your back with the towel around one foot.

  1. Straighten the leg with the towel toward the ceiling.
  2. Pull gently until you feel a stretch, not pain.
  3. Keep the other leg long on the floor.

What it works

You should feel it in your back of the thigh. Mobility and stretch move, easy level, for the legs and hips.
