Don't discount Patrick's advice on floor living. I don't do it much, but
the little I have done helps immensely! Another way to stretch those
hamstrings requires a friend, but it is incredibly effective.
-Lay on your back on the floor
-Lift one leg up towards the sky (keeping it straight or only the slightest
bit bent)
-Have your friend continue pushing that leg towards your upper body until
you feel a comfortable deep stretch, then stop
-Hold that for 30-60 seconds (still keeping it straight or only the
slightest bit bent)
-Make sure your other leg remains on the floor as if you were still
laying down normally
-Now is where the stretch really deepens!
-In that same deep stretch position, push your leg forward (away from your
upper body) with as much force as you can while your friend resists your
effort and keeps your leg in the same upward position
-Keep battling with your friend in this position for 5-10 seconds
-Again, make sure your other leg and butt remains on the floor
-Relax and have your friend gently push your leg further towards your upper
body until you feel a comfortable deep stretch again
-Hold for 30-60 seconds
-You will be amazed at how much further your leg stretches after the
resistance session
-Do that resistance session a couple times on one leg, then switch to the
other
Let me know if that doesn't make sense...
