Standing Hamstring Stretch

Stand next to a wall or sturdy chair for balance. Leaving one leg next to the wall/chair, place the other leg about 12 inches ahead, with both feet flat on the floor. Place your hand on the wall/chair for balance, and lean forward so that your torso forms close to a 90-degree angle with your thighs; the closer you get to your thighs, the greater the stretch. The leg next to the wall/chair will receive an IT band stretch, and the opposite leg will receive a hamstring stretch. Repeat with the opposite leg.
