Hamstring Curls off an exercise ball
Start lying on your back and calves elevated on an exercise ball. Extend your ups towards the sky and with your hips lifted the entire time, roll the ball in towards your body and back out. Perform 10 slow and steady.
Leg Extensions with hips lifted
Start lying on your back and calves elevated on an exercise ball. Extend one leg straight out in front of you with your toe pointed. You will hold this pose for a full 10 seconds before moving to the other side. Squeeze your quads, keeping your leg strong and straight. Be mindful of your core too, keeping it tight for stability. Aim for 10 reps on each side but working your way up from 5, if need be. This is a killer burn!
