Method 4 of 4: Put your hands on the floor
Using arm force, slowly push your hips up. When doing this, try to straighten your legs as much as you can and your body will be in an upside down V-shape.
Using arm force, place body weight on the calves and hind thigh muscles. Once you have mastered the practice, try to straighten your legs and press your heels down to the floor. Be careful not to put your knees on the floor.
Hold this position for 30 seconds.- This can also be used in a yoga workout regimen and relaxes the calf muscles, arm muscles and hamstrings (hind thigh muscles).
Advice
- After doing 10 seconds of repetitions, gradually increase the amount of stretching until you can hold it for 30 seconds.
- When performing back thigh stretches, always make sure your back is straight. A curved back not only makes this exercise ineffective, but also affects the spine, muscles and lower back disc.
- If your legs and back are very painful, you should consult a doctor.
Warning
- Not turned on. Should gently relax muscles. Do this stretching of the back thigh muscles and hold for 10 seconds.
- A normal muscle can be stretched for 1.6 times the length of that muscle, but stretching is too tight for muscles and can damage them.
Things You Need
