Work your butt and the back of your thighs with this hamstring exercise. Lie with your shoulders pressed against the floor and your
feet resting on an exercise ball. Your mid and lower back, hips and legs are not touching the floor.
Keep your back flat and your hips raised. Think about keeping
your body flat, don't let your back sag towards the floor. Roll the ball towards you by pressing your
feet into the ball and bending your legs. You should feel your hamstrings and gluts doing most of the
work.
Finish the exercise when you have brought the ball in about 1-2 feet. Your hips should still be
lifted high off the ground and your back is flat. Only your arms, shoulders,
and head are touching the floor. Pause in the finish position for a second or two then slowly return
to the starting position. Repeat the exercise 10-20 times.
