How To Perform: Hamstring Curls On A Exercise Ball

The Stability Ball Hamstring Curl is a simple but effective exercise to strengthen your hamstrings, glutes and core muscles. Most of our common lower body exercises like squats and lunges focus mainly on the quads and glutes. This move uses the ball to create instability forcing you to pull in your core and stabilize your body. If you incorporate the Stability Ball Hamstring Curl into your exercise routine, we guarantee that you will feel it in your legs the next day!
Functional exercises become more challenging with the stability balls, and your muscles have to work harder for each movement. In addition, they can increase your metabolic rate which can help you burn fat faster. They target your core, improve your balance, agility, and stability which can result in enhanced performance at various activities such as Yoga, tennis, football, dance, etc.
Step 1) Lie on your back. Put your calves and heels on a stability ball. Place your feet hip-width apart and flex your ankles. Set your arms on the floor, palms down.
Step 2) Move your hips upward until your body is straight. Engage your glutes.
Step 3) Slowly lift your hips and bend your knees. Pull your heels toward your buttocks, moving the ball toward your body until the soles of your feet touch the ball.
Step 4) Extend your knees and lower your hips and back to the floor.
