Leg Exercise - Hamstring curls with swiss ball
Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
I'm going to show you how to do hamstring curls with an exercise ball now. It's a great
way to strengthen the muscles in the back of your thigh here as well as turning on your
core muscles as they'll be needed to stabilize you on the ball. So, you're going to get down
on the floor, put your feet up on the ball, lay down flat. You're going to tighten your
stomach muscles first in order to help prevent any sort of low back pain. You're going to
bridge up, and then, maintaining that bridge with your hips nice and level, your going
to curl the ball in towards your bottom and back out, maintaining your hips the same level
the whole time. The tendency is to let your hips drop as you curl the ball in, so make
sure you stay up nice and high, maintaining that bridge while you curl the ball in and
out. You should feel a nice burn going on in your hamstrings. So, that's your hamstring
curls with the exercise ball.
