Tipover Tuck Hamstring Stretch

This stretch is good for your hamstrings and also loosens tight shoulders.

Stand with your feet hips-width distance apart. Interlace your hands behind your back. Keeping your legs straight, bend at the hips, tucking your chin, and bringing your hands over your head.
Relax the back of your neck and if the stretch is too intense, release your hands, placing them on the backs of your thighs, and soften your knees. Hold for 30 seconds and slowly roll up to standing.

Is it necessary to do more than one type of hamstring exercise, or do they all pretty much do the same thing and I could just pick one that I like?\u00a0

I always forget to stretch my hamstrings after a workout and then end up majorly regretting it. My favorite is the "Tipover Tuck Hamstring Stretch" since it also feels like it stretches out my shoulders too.
