How to do it

  1. 01

    Lie on your back with one leg extended above you, with the hip at ninety degrees. Keep the other leg flat on the floor.

  2. 02

    Loop a belt, band, or rope over the ball of your foot. This will be your starting position.

  3. 03

    Pull on the belt to create tension in the calves and hamstrings. Hold this stretch for 10-30 seconds, and repeat with the other leg.

In the app

Hamstring Stretch appears when you own the kit it needs and the day's window has room for it. Its minutes come from Rule 2 (Sessions are built to fit, never guaranteed, graded product): the window sets how long it runs, never the other way round.

If a machine is taken the engine swaps a same-pattern movement and says why.

If you don't have the kit it needs

Same movement pattern, same primary muscles — swap by what you have.

With bodyweight
