Stretching hams
warm up first.

be sure to hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds. release, repeat 10x.

Try this stretch:

lay on back. elevate one leg. use a strap on instep. keep leg straight. engage/tighten quad to stabilize. now, the key is to press down with your sacrum/lower abs to engage the stretch. hold 20-30 seconds. each repetition you may be able to bring your leg up further. repeat on other side. do 10 reps.

remember- you are where you are. anatomies vary and your ligaments may be short. no self-flogging allowed.
