Stretch your hamstrings seated for 30 seconds each

Extend one leg on the floor or a low step and lean forward gently.

Why it helps

Tight hamstrings are common after long periods of sitting. A mild daily stretch can make bending and walking feel easier over time.

How to do it

1. Sit at the edge of a chair, one leg straight with heel on the floor.
2. Keep your back long and lean forward from the hips.
3. Hold 30 seconds, then switch.

Make it easier

Bend the extended knee slightly.

Make it harder

Reach toward your toes while keeping your back flat.

Stretch to mild tension only, never pain.
