Total Gym Hamstring Curls Crunches Legs Abs Toning Exercise

http://AskTheTrainer.com

The Total Gym is versatile to use for combination exercises. You can transition from one exercise to the other in rapid succession as well as use exercises which involve 2 separate motions.

This hamstring curl along with crunch or sit up is a great way to work your hamstrings and glutes while you get some abdominal work in.

To perform this properly, sit on the very top of the Total Gym bench and put your feet in the leg attachment.

Curl yourself as high as you possibly can with your hamstrings, SQUEEZE YOUR GLUTES, keep them squeezed while you perform a crunch, lifting your shoulders off of the bench.

It is easiest to have hands in front of chest, but you can put them behind your head to make the exercise more difficult.

Remember, with the Total Gym the higher angle you have the machine set up at the more difficulty.

If you are prone to tight hamstrings, this exercise probably is not the best. Read about muscle imbalances first...
