SaiFightsMS Posted December 15, 2001 Posted December 15, 2001 Well my favorite method is to sit in the floor in front of the tv and hold my position. I make sure i lean forward for part of the time. I alternate that with hamstring stretches and also stretch the front of my legs lying on my side in the rotation. The last couple of inches is the hardest to attain. Just kind of lean forward and let your hips roll forward so you are on the sides of your feet. Your body weight will do the rest. But if it feels really awfull stop right away. You are not ready to go that far.
