Lie on your back. Hold the back of your knee with both hands. Pull your working leg up towards your head, so that you feel a gradual stretch in your hamstring. Perform the exercise with both a straight and a bent knee. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Then do the same exercise on the other leg.
Stand on one leg. Support yourself with one hand against a wall or chair. Bend the opposite knee and grasp your foot with the hand on the same side. Pull your foot upwards and your knee slightly backwards, so that you feel a gradual stretch in your thigh. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Repeat the exercise, alternating between your right and left legs.
Stand by crossing the training leg straight behind the support leg while bending out to the side over the training leg so that there is an increasing stretching of the outer thigh. Hold stretching for 20 seconds. Repeat exercise alternately on right and left leg
Sit on your left knee and right foot. Bend your right leg at a 90-degree angle at the hip and knee. Extend your left knee as far back as possible, with your foot raised and resting on a small box. Push your hips forwards and downwards without arching your lower back, so that you feel a gradual stretch at the front of your hip. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Repeat the exercise on the other leg.
Lie on your back with one leg stretched out. Bend the other leg and place your foot on the opposite side of the stretched leg. Use both hands to pull your knee towards the opposite shoulder, so that you feel a gradual stretch in your buttock. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Repeat the exercise on the other leg.
Stand with your legs apart. Keep one leg straight and the other slightly bent. Shift your weight to the side onto the bent leg, so that you feel a gradual stretch on the inside of the opposite thigh. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Repeat the exercise on the other leg.
Sit with your knees bent and the soles of your feet touching. Place your hands on both knees and slowly push your knees apart, so that you feel a gradual stretch in your groin. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Relax for 20 seconds.
“The Clam”. Lie on your side with your hips and knees bent, with the working leg on top. Rotate slightly forwards so that your navel is pointing towards the floor. Lift the top knee away from the bottom knee, keeping your feet together.

Secure an exercise band at hip height in front of you. Sit on a chair facing the exercise band. Loop the exercise band around your ankle. Lift and extend your leg. Then slowly bend your knee so that the exercise band tightens. Hold the tension for a few seconds and slowly straighten your knee again.
Attach an exercise band at ankle height behind you. Sit on a chair with your back against the resistance band. Wrap the resistance band around your shin just above the ankle. Slowly stretch your knee to tighten the elastic band. Hold the tension for a few seconds and slowly bend the knee again
Attach an exercise band 10 cm above floor level. Stand facing the exercise band. Place the resistance band around your training leg between the knee and the ankle (the lower you place it, the greater the resistance). Slowly bring your leg back so that the band tightens. Hold the tension for a few seconds, then slowly bring your leg forward to the starting position.
Attach an exercise band 10 cm above floor level. Stand with your side facing the exercise band, with the working leg closest to the band. Place the band around the working leg. Position the band between the knee and the ankle (the lower the position, the greater the resistance). Slowly move the leg to the side (in front of the supporting leg) so that the band tightens. Hold the tension for a few seconds and slowly return the leg to the starting position.
Lie on your back with your knees bent and the ball between your knees. Squeeze the ball with your knees. Lift your head and shoulders 15 cm off the floor and hold the position for a few seconds before slowly lowering your head and shoulders again.

“Pelvic lift on one leg”. Lie on your back with the working leg bent. Lift the healthy leg. Then lift your hips off the floor, keeping your weight on the working leg. Your back and thighs should be in a straight line. Your knee should remain bent. Hold the position for a few seconds and lower your bottom again. The intensity is increased by extending the working leg further, so that the foot moves further away from the body.
