When it comes to static stretching, consistency is key. If you want real results, occasional stretching won’t cut it — frequency matters. To make meaningful improvements in flexibility, you need to stretch daily — ideally, multiple times a day — for at least a month.
Here’s a simple challenge for you:
- Measure your hamstring flexibility.
- Perform the closed-chain hamstring stretch demonstrated in the video above.
- Hold the stretch for 15 seconds per set.
- Do 3-5 sets every day, alternating sides each set.
Stick with this routine for 4 weeks, then remeasure your hamstring flexibility. Chances are, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by how much progress you’ve made!
