Instructions
90/90 Hamstring
Lie on your back, with one leg extended straight out.
With the other leg, bend the hip and knee to 90 degrees. You may brace your leg with your hands if necessary. This will be your starting position.
Extend your leg straight into the air, pausing briefly at the top. Return the leg to the starting position.
Repeat for 10-20 repetitions, and then switch to the other leg.
Intermediate Groin Stretch
Lie on your back with your legs extended. Loop a belt, rope, or band around one of your feet, and swing that leg as far to the side as you can. This will be your starting position.
Pull gently on the belt to create tension in your groin and hamstring muscles. Hold for 10-20 seconds, and repeat on the other side.
