INFO:
Here's two exercises that will give you more flexible hamstrings in just a minute. In this video, we're going to show you how to improve your hamstring flexibility using a PNF stretching technique. PNF, or proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, is a stretching method that uses end range antagonist muscle contractions to trigger the golgi tendon organ function and shut down muscle contractions. This makes it virtually impossible to contract your hamstrings, giving immediate flexibility gains. We'll start by showing you how to do a hamstring PNF stretch. This stretch targets the hamstrings and is great for increasing flexibility in the legs and lower back. We'll then move on to a loaded hamstring stretch, which is an excellent way to build flexibility and mobility because it creates strength in the muscle fibres and flexibility. This PNF stretching technique is perfect for anyone looking to improve their flexibility and mobility, whether you're into gymnastics, calisthenics, weightlifting, crossfit, yoga, or pole dancing. So give it a try and see how you go!
