OK, so here is the exercise that is for the hamstrings that I promise works better than any machine you have ever tried!
What you need: exercise ball, and yourself!
Lie flat on the floor on your back, placing the ball under the heels of your feet.
Lift your butt off the ground keeping your body in line. DON'T LET YOUR BACK DROP!!
Holding your butt up off the ground, keeping your stomach and glutes tight, pull your heels towards you. The ball should roll under your heels. Your heels are digging into the ball. Then extend your legs back out rolling the ball away from you. Do this 10-12 times.
Alternate: Do same as above, except on each forward roll, drop the butt down to the ground in a controlled motion. Make sure you keep your abs flexed and glutes tight. (Not keeping all those core muscles tight can risk back injury!)
If you have not tried this movement...now is the time to start!! You will not be disappointed with the results!
