What are hamstrings? And how should i stretch them? ?

Answer 1

Your hamstrings are the muscles on the back of your leg stretching from your hip to your knee.

To stretch these muscles (that are commonly tight in many people,) one stretch you can do is to sit on the floor with your legs extended, feet flexed (toes up, heels slightly off the floor) and, keeping your back completely straight, grab your foot (toe, heel, whatever you can reach) and  reach your body forward as if you are trying to touch your nose to your toes.

Hamstring stretches are commonly used in sports. It is important to thoroughly stretch every part of your body before engaging in any rigorous activity.
