"Hi, my name is Tanya Batts. I'm a Personal Trainer with Gold's Gym. I want to talk to you about how to avoid hamstring strains and injuries. Basically what you want to do is stay flexible. Really important to stay flexible. That's where your injuries come in. You want to make sure you warm up the muscles before your doing any type of athletic activity. The best Down Dog exercise is going to really stretch the hamstring. A little bit of Yoga; hands open; knees underneath your hips. Tuck your toes under. You're just going to press up into a Down Dog. So the abdominals are pulled in. You're lifting the tail bone high and you're pushing those heels toward the floor. That's a great hamstring stretch. You can even bend one knee and seriously focus on one leg at a time; being pushed down to the floor. Then you do it at the side and that's just a great way to keep those hamstrings flexible. Another great one; pretty simple. Put that one leg in front of you; abs in; pulled over that leg with a flat back. So the toe aims to the ceiling, feeling it; it's good stuff. Other leg; you're just going to fold 'cause if your round through; it's just not going to feel you this much. Long back, amazing. So those are just a great way to prevent little hamstring injuries."
