Asked by wiki @ in Health viewed by 356 People

A. You can't touch your toes with your neck and back bent.
B. Arching the neck and back puts stress on the spine.
C. Bending the back turns this into a spine stretch.
D. The hamstring is only stretched when the back is straight.

Answered by wiki @

The correct answer is: B. Arching the neck and back puts stress on the spine.

A hamstring stretch refers to a stretching pose or technique where you extend your hamstring (underside of your thigh) to its full capacity. When performing a hamstring stretch, it is important to keep your neck straight and avoid arching it, because by doing so, you are putting undue stress and straining your spine instead of targeting your hamstrings.
