How to do it
- For this movement a wooden floor or similar is needed. Lay on your back with your legs extended. Place a gym towel or a light weight underneath your heel. This will be your starting position.
- Begin the movement by flexing the knee, keeping your other leg straight.
- Continue bringing the heel closer to you, sliding it on the floor.
- At full knee flexion, reverse the movement to return to the starting position.
