EXERCISE OF THE MONTH Bottoms Up! (Flossing your hamstrings)

Why: Prolonged sitting or general lack of activity can allow your muscles to functionally shorten. This means that they may not have literally lost physical length but that they don’t move through their full range of motion fluidly. Fluidity in hamstrings takes strain off your back and allows for more efficient movement. This is a great warmup activity before a hike, jumping into a soccer game, or going rock climbing. How: Hamstring lengthening: Put elbows on thighs, drop head, slowly squeeze quad (thigh) muscles to straighten legs as much as possible and feel a stretch in your hamstrings. Bend and straighten your knees slowly thinking about lifting your tailbone to the sky. Repeat 10 times. **Keep your back straight/still — do not round your back. Only your knees are moving in this exercise. Proof it works: Test your hamstring length before and after by measuring how far you can run your hands down the front of your legs.
