Are your hamstrings a mystery? Can you describe them without using the words ‘tight’, ‘sore’, ‘stretch’, or ‘more’?
This 4-week programme will help you think and feel differently about your hamstrings.
You’ll discover why learning a little about human anatomy can go a long way and why stretching alone isn’t enough. You’ll move beyond simply trying to touch your toes, embracing new ways to build strength and mobility that will help you feel less limited by your current level of flexibility.
