Hamstrings - Back-Thigh Muscle Group

Category: Anatomy / Strength Training

Description

A group of three muscles at the back of the thigh is responsible for hip extension and knee flexion.

Relevance for Women

Often tight or weak due to:
  • prolonged sitting
  • pregnancy-related posture changes
  • quad dominance
  • high-heel use
In Practice

Strengthened in deadlifts, bridges, hamstring curls; stretched in yoga forward folds.

Notes

Weak hamstrings contribute to lower-back discomfort.
