Bodyweight Leg Curls Glute Hamstring Workout

http://www.LeeHayward.com

Looking for an awesome hamstring and glute exercise? Then try doing stability ball leg curls. This movement hits the hamstrings and glutes from a unique angle and because you are moving your entire body with the exercise it will have a higher level of neuromuscular activation in the muscles compared to exercises that you just move your limbs (such as the lying leg curl machine).

All you need to do this exercise is a stability ball. So it is perfect for a home gym or public gym. Brace your arms on the floor and place your feet on the center of the ball with your legs straight. Lift your butt off the floor and then curl your legs back behind you. This will heavily work the hamstrings and glutes.

how long should we do it for results

[leemhayward]

You would include this as part of your leg workouts. As far as results you should see improvements from workout to workout in terms of being able to do more reps, use better form, etc.

is it normal to feel stretching in your calf and hamstring on the eccentric phase? like it really pulls/stretches

Thank you, I am exercising at home and have read that single joint exersises are not as effective. I love my stability ball and this exercise will help a lot.

Thanks Lee... good to see more trainers familiar with NMA and choosing ex's w greater movement of the body through space! Keep up the good work!

I prefer this with a one leg variation. Two legs is far too easy.
