Hamstring Stretch

Reduce the chance of injury by stretching for a few minutes before each workout.  Stretching after your workout will decrease stiffness and soreness in the muscles.

Before walking, doing a hamstring stretch is important to lengthen the muscle for full mobility of your spine, hip and knee.
