Question on easing back into workouts (hamstring)

I have had chronic hamstring strains for the better part of two years. I was able to pinpoint the issue to more of a high hamstring area, near the glutes and part of the strain into the groin area as well.
Took a few weeks off so I do not feel any pain or strain at any point now. My plan is to slowly ease back into EVERYTHING relating to the hamstring.
I believe some reasons I was constantly getting a sore hamstring was from incline walking (around 40 mins/day at 4+ incline), daily body squats, some of which I would go past the 90 degree angle and I think this had something to do with the glute/groin strains.
I have been spending 20 minutes before any type of workout (cardio/weights/spinning) which goes first a 10 minute walk on the treadmill followed by a 10 minute stretch focused primarily on my lower body.
I like incline walking a lot to burn body fat and am able to do most cardio work through intervals mostly. Just wanted to see if anyone experienced a similar situation and if you have any thoughts/comments/suggestions on restarting my exercising.
thanks

I wish I had more advice for you, but you might enjoy trying this hamstring stretch. I've had to take a break for the last week due to an injury, but when I was doing this regularly it seemed to help.
