Fitness Ball Hamstring Curl

The Fitness Ball Hamstring Curl is a leg exercise that targets the hamstrings, as well as the glutes and core. The use of a Fitness Ball or Stability Ball will aid in improving stability, strength, and balance.


STEP 1: Lie on the mat, with your arms at your sides. Place your heels on the Fitness Ball with your toes pointing upward. Raise your hips from the floor.

STEP 2: Bend your knees and pull the ball toward you. Keep your arms on your sides and your hips off the mat while flexing your knees. Roll the ball out to starting position then repeat 10 times.


Tighten your glutes and core so you can keep your hips off the mat while doing this exercise. To make it more challenging, do this one leg at a time.
