You know the old saying… “Happy hamstrings, happy life!”

I’m pretty sure that’s how it goes.

We are just three weeks from the September 3rd launch of my new hamstrings series. To celebrate, we are opening a raffle for three humans with hamstrings to win free access to the Complete Hamstrings Program, a set of 15 workouts for amazing thighs.

To enter, just fill out the poll below before August 12, 12pm PST so we can know more about your hamstring health!

The hamstrings series has 4 different programs:

  1. Recovering from a Hamstring Injury: 3 workouts to bring your hamstrings back from a tear or strain to be able to safely train mobility

  2. Mobility for Tight Hamstrings: 5 workouts to build mobility in chronically tight hamstrings and steps to achieve seated forward fold and standing toe touch.

  3. Strong Flexible Hamstrings: 5 workouts to build flexibility and strength together to stabilize over-stretched hamstrings and safely achieve advanced flexibility moves like splits and kicks

  4. Complete Hamstrings Program: 15 workouts including all of the above plus two bonus myofascial release workouts to increase blood flow and relieve tightness and soreness

All of these workouts are designed to be done at home with minimal equipment.

I made these programs because I haven’t seen anything out there that offers these types of exercises for strengthening and stretching the hamstrings outside of a clinical setting.

Please let me know if you have any questions, and may the odds be forever in your favor!

Happy Bendings,

Kristina

I can't get my hips to stay squared when I want to go into my splits. I used to be able to oversplit comfortably. Now My back is rounded when I try to touch my toes. Heeellllpppppp !!!!

Oh no! Well if you could do it once you can do it again you just need to give those hamstrings some love. Whether it was from injury, overuse, sitting too much, or other mysteries your hamstrings experienced some sadness but they can bounce back with the right care! Did you get injured or did things change slowly over time?

My hamstring that used to be an over split suddenly locked up with no known injury. I can’t even bend over without it pulling! : ( It’s been a year! So confusing and frustrating…

Argh that's so frustrating! I promise there is definitely a reason you just need to figure out what it is in order to get that hamstring feeling safe again. I'd look at hip flexor health, glute health, foot health, and whether your hips are rotated in a weird way. Also the basic hamstring rehab exercises to build strength might be helpful. I hope you have a good PT or coach you can work with to sleuth this out but if not sometimes just trying super gentle strengthening for different areas and seeing what moves the needle can be a good way to investigate. Pro tip: the cause may well not be your hamstrings, but your hamstrings may have reacted to something else going on in your body...
