Bend your right knee and, holding the back of your right thigh below the knee with both hands, elbows out to the side, bring your leg as close as possible toward your chin. Keeping your head on the floor, slowly straighten your leg as much as you can, aiming it upward without forcing it. Straighten it only as much as is comfortable.

Hold for a count of ten and then gently move your right leg toward you and back one-sixteenth to one-quarter inch. It is very important that these delicate movements do not even resemble a bounce. If you really feel the stretch in your leg, simply hold for the count. To come out of this position, release your arms, and in triple slow motion return the raised leg to the starting position. Repeat to the left side.

NOTE: The hamstring muscle is usually the tightest muscle in the body. In fact, a large percentage of the population have extremely tight hamstrings. So be patient. It may take longer than thirty days to stretch this muscle completely. Just be aware that your muscles are stretching every time you do this exercise. And every little bit counts! As you become more flexible day by day, try to gradually increase the length of the count you hold the stretch from ten to thirty seconds, before you begin the repetitions.
