SLOWLY: With straight legs and feet together raise both legs off of the ground as high as you can without extending through your low back
Repeat 3 times.
Keeping the left leg straight and your toes pointing straight up raise your right leg straight up as high as possible. Stop as soon as your left foot starts to twist out.

Switch legs and repeat test.
Finally, stand up and with straight legs perform a toe touch hamstring test.

How to film
Needed: Camera, clean floor
