So, put on some comfortable clothes, clear some space, and let\u2019s get started!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>4 Best Dynamic Stretches For Flexible Hamstrings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Standing Roll Up &amp; Down<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stand up straight with your feet hip-width apart and arms by your sides. Starting with the top of your head, slowly roll down through your spine, moving vertebrae by vertebrae. Pause when your hands reach or are near the ground and hold for 15 to 45 seconds. Then, bend your knees more deeply and slowly reverse the motion, rolling back up through your spine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Repeat 3 to 5 times.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Lying Single Leg Stretch<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lie on your back, legs extended long on the mat, and then lift your right leg toward the ceiling. Hold it at your calf or hamstring and slowly pull it toward your face. For a more intense stretch, keep your knee straight, or bend your knee for a more gentle stretch. If you\u2019d like, you can also wrap a strap or Theraband around your foot and use it to help move your leg closer to your body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hold the stretch for 10 seconds, then press your leg into your hands for 10 seconds as you pull it closer to your face. Alternate for a total of 30 to 60 seconds, then switch sides.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Inchworm<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stand up tall, arms by your sides, then slowly roll down through your spine, starting with the top of your head. Walk your hands away from your body until you\u2019re in a plank position, hold for one breath, then walk your hands back toward your body and roll back up to standing. Repeat 3 to 5 times.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Standing Wide-Stance Stretch<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stand tall with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width and your hands on your hips or by your sides. Slowly roll down through your spine until your hands are close to or touching the ground. You can bend your knees if you need to, or rest your hands on a block, step, or stool. Try to keep your back as straight as possible to target your hamstrings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hold for 30 to 60 seconds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We hope this article helps you learn some new dynamic stretches you can add to your fitness routine.
