Stretching's exercise. Yoga's name Exercise: Yanushirasana
Execution Method
Sit with one leg straight and the other one bent with the foot resting on the inside thigh of the straight leg
Slowly bring your trunk forward until you feel tension in the hamstrings.
When your muscles become used and you don’t feel them anymore in tension, then bring your trunk forward to catch up with your hands the straight leg’s ankle or the feet.
This exercise allows the lengthening of the hamstring muscles, but also the gluteus, the spinal erectors and the latissimus dorsi.
Remember:
During execution, you should stop to bring your trunk forward before feeling pain. Relax your mind, and keep the position for at least 30 seconds Repeat the same exercise with the other leg.
