Forget stretching your hamstrings — I'm a personal trainer, and this is the 3-minute alternative mobility flow I give most people
This three-minute mobility flow is a great alternative to stretching for looser hamstrings.
Instead of prescribing stretching, especially before a workout, I often recommend a quick mobility flow to improve hamstring flexibility. Hamstrings are notoriously tight and don't always respond well to static stretching, but this three-minute routine can help loosen them up. Benefits include improved blood flow and joint strength.
You'll move your entire body during the flow, targeting both muscles and joints. Focus on deep, mindful breathing and avoid any painful movements. This beginner-friendly routine requires only a yoga or exercise mat.
