Step by step

How to do the 90/90 Hamstring

  1. 1

    Lie on your back, with one leg extended straight out.

  2. 2

    With the other leg, bend the hip and knee to 90 degrees. You may brace your leg with your hands if necessary. This will be your starting position.

  3. 3

    Extend your leg straight into the air, pausing briefly at the top. Return the leg to the starting position.

  4. 4

    Repeat for 10-20 repetitions, and then switch to the other leg.
