Exhale as you contract your right hamstring and core muscles to raise your hips and back into the air. Inhale and slowly return to
start position.
The single-leg hamstring curl on a resistance ball is terrific for developing the hamstrings and glutes while adding stability and endurance to the core.
Lie flat on your back with your arms at your sides for support. Place a medium-to-large resistance ball under your right foot.
Exhale as you contract your right hamstring and core muscles to raise your hips and back into the air. Inhale and slowly return to start position. Repeat 10 to 15 times and switch legs for three sets on each side.
Key points: Maintain a slow and controlled movement for maximum benefit.
