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

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. </span></span>

faltersainse [42]
<span><span><span>Is this a true or false question? If so, the answer would be false. 

While Swimming has many benefits, it does not burn the most calories. It provides a full body work out and goes easy on your joints. However, in order to burn a ton of calories, you need to sweat. Running at 7mph for one hour will help you burn about 700 calories, while swimming at 50 yards-per-minute burns about 550 per hour.
