Many people do this to stretch their hamstrings and back. Don’t, because:

• it over-stretches the low back (can lead to injury)
• It doesn’t isolate the hamstrings enough to make it effective
• the average person doesn’t need to stretch their back forward

Try this safe stretch for your back instead
