Hamstring StretchesHamstring palm touch. Stand with your knees slightly bent. Then, bend from the waist and try to touch your palms to the floor. If you can't reach all the way to the floor, just go as far as you can. Count to 10 or 20, then rest. Repeat. If you have lower back problems, do this stretch with your legs crossed. Hamstring toe touch. Place your right leg level with your hip on a stair, chair, or other steady object. With your other leg slightly bent, lean forward and slowly try to touch your right toe with your right hand. Hold and count to 10 or 20. Repeat with your left hand. Then switch legs and repeat with each hand. Rest. Repeat the entire stretch. See also: Hamstring Stretching Exercise
