This 20-30 minute training routine is targeted to students who want to work on their hamstring flexibility for deeper forward folds. Modifications of drills are given for all levels - whether you’re someone who’s working to finally be able to touch their toes, or whether you’re a more advanced student trying to get their belly all the way to their thighs in a forward fold, this workshop has drills for you!
THIS IS NOT A FOLLOW-ALONG VIDEO like the majority of my other recordings. Instead, this is a written routine that includes detailed how-to videos for each drill, as well as educational content to help you maximize your progress in your hamstring-training journey.
This PDF includes:
Flexibility training best practices
Anatomical considerations for training hamstring flexibility
How to modify the drills to make them easier or harder as your flexibility progresses (spoiler alert: bending your knees is encouraged!)
How to test to see if you have nerve tension that will impact your training (and how to adjust accordingly)
Suggestions for training frequency
A program of drills with how-to videos explaining proper form, what sensations to look for, what muscles to engage (if needed), and how to modify to adjust the difficulty/intensity for each drill. The “default” routine is meant to fit a 20-minute training session
Additional recommended drills (along with how-to videos) for another 10 minutes of training for students who want to extend their practice to a 30-minute session
A printable all-on-one-page list of drills for quick reference
Heads up: Because each of the how-to videos is filmed as an educational video with comments on form, technique, and modifications - and not as a “follow along with me” style video, the videos will likely take longer to watch than to actually execute the exercise. So plan on your first run-through of this routine to take longer than 20 minutes because you’ll likely be watching the videos in their entirety which will take a bit longer (and then just skimming through them for reminders in the future).
Yoga mat (knee padding is your friend!)
Some kind of long strap - can be stretchy or stiff
2 yoga blocks
A chair or bench (very helpful for folks with tight hips)
