5 Workouts to Advance your Hamstring Mobility

Prepare for fancy flexibility moves like high kicks and front splits

Hamstring strength and flexibility is vital for performers, yogis and athletes in a wide variety of disciplines. For dancers, gymnasts, aerialists, contortionists, yogis, and martial artists flexibility through the back of the body is essential.

These five workouts are designed to give you the tools and information you need to safely, sustainably, and reliably increase both your hamstring flexibility and the strength and stability of your hips.

The workouts include:

  • Active flexibility drills for lifting and holding the legs (kicks and standing splits prep)
  • Advanced pike stretch drills to get you kissing your shins
  • Challenging mobility exercises you can do at your desk to keep flexible during your work day
  • Hip strength and mobility focusing on correcting common muscle imbalances
  • Targeted hamstring mobility to achieve square front splits
