Lower Body Flexibility & Mobility
Target Area – Hamstrings
Preparation:
The Marine will be place the TRX in single handles mode. They will lie flat on the deck and place their right foot in the TRX foot cradle. The Marine will slide their body down until the leg that is in the TRX is straight and a stretch can be felt in the hamstring.
Execution:
The Marine will press their hands into the deck and engage their abdominals. They will bring the leg that is not in the TRX up as high as they can while maintaining full extension in both legs and hips in contact with the deck. They will hold for a 2 count and return to the starting position.
Common Mistakes: - Letting the hips come off the deck
- Letting the free leg roll out
