I've got a question regarding hamstring stretches. It seems everytime I try to stretch my hamstrings I feel it more in the back of my knees than my hamstrings. It's with every hamstring stretch I do, so I don't actually know if I'm stretching my hamstrings this way. could this be bad for my knee or is it ok??? Or could it be my calves are really tight??? What do you think would be the best hamstring exercises for beginners?

Its perfectly normal to feel the stretch behind the knees. To emphasise the hamstrings, point the toes away from you while you stretch.
