How to do it
5 stepsStand tall beside a chair or wall and rest one hand on it for balance. Keep your chest up and your hips square.
Shift your weight onto the leg nearest the support and keep the other leg straight.
Swing the free leg forward in a smooth arc, as high as your flexibility lets you, without bending the knee.
Let it swing back behind you, again keeping the leg long and your back upright.
Continue swinging back and forth for 5 to 10 repetitions, then turn around and switch legs.
If your lower back arches or your torso leans, shorten the swing until your upper body stays quiet.
Start with small swings and let the range grow as your hamstrings warm up. Never force the leg higher with a jerk.
