Standing biceps femoris stretch

Description: Use a low box or step to perform this stretch. Place one leg on top of the box in an adducted and internally rotated position. Then, locking the hands together, slowly rotate the torso in the opposite direction. The stretched leg does not need to be elevated above hip height. This stretch emphasizes the lateral hamstring.
