Blending the deep squat and the standing hamstring stretch strengthens your core -- including your deep abdominal muscles and hip -- improves hip and leg mobility and brings connection between your lower and upper body. Instead of just stretching your hip and leg muscles separately, doing this exercise warms up your nervous system and muscles to better prepare you for the upcoming activity. Take a deep breath and stretch.
Deep Squat and Hamstring Stretch
Stand with your feet about shoulder-distance apart with your feet pointing forward or slightly outward. Raise your arms over your head with your biceps close to your ears.
Exhale as you bend your torso forward and reach for the floor space between your feet with your fingers or hands. Hold this position for one deep breath.
Take a deep breath and exhale as you lower your buttocks down into a deep squat. Keep your fingers or hands in contact with the floor, and your chest facing forward. Do not shrug your shoulders. Hold this position for two to three deep breaths.
Exhale as you raise your arms overhead. Take a deep breath and stand straig.
