This is a session all about length & strength for the backs of your legs. We activate, strengthen and lengthen through the Hamstrings and Glutes, and then bring in some core work with those lovely lengthened hamstrings (here’s looking at you Scissor Kicks!). If you are a runner or walker, this is a great routine to do before a run or a long walk. It also pairs really well with the 'Hamstring Magic' video in the Stretch and Release Category (either before or after depending on how your legs are feeling).
Muscle emphasis: Hamstrings, Glutes and Core
Level: Intermediate
Equipment: None
