How to do it

  1. 01

    Lie flat on your back, bend one knee, and put that foot flat on the floor to stabilize your spine.

  2. 02

    Extend the other leg in the air. If you're tight, you wont be able to straighten it. That's okay. Extend the knee so that the sole of the lifted foot faces the ceiling (or as close as you can get it).

  3. 03

    Slowly straighten the legs as much as possible and then pull the leg toward your nose. Switch sides.

In the app

Leg-Up Hamstring Stretch needs no kit, so it appears whenever 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.

Same pattern, with kit

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