Sosténgase de algo para mantener el equilibrio. Estando parado sobre una pierna, sujete el pie de la otra pierna, mantenga la rodilla apuntando hacia abajo y hale hacia arriba con una ligera presión, aunque no es necesario halar hasta alcanzar los glúteos. En caso de sentirse incómodo o sentir dolor, se debe a que se ejerce demasiada tensión sobre la articulación de la rodilla.

Mantenga el pie atrás por 10 a 20 segundos y luego cambie de lado. Con este ejercicio, se debe sentir el estiramiento en la parte anterior del muslo.
