Lessons in Muscle Control for Your Hamstrings (elements 2b)

With lessons in muscle control for your hamstrings, you'll learn both to feel your hamstrings so that you can recognize when they are active or relaxed, lengthening or shortening. You'll also learn to control them. 
Just as importantly, so that you can feel and control your hamstrings in varying postures, exercises and circumstances, you'll also learn how to anchor the hamstrings at either end. 
By learning to feel your hamstrings, and glutes, and control them, you can then use this ability when working to strengthen your hamstrings or stretch them or simply use them.
