In my opinion hamstring curls on the ball beat any hamstring machine I've ever used. This exercise precisely targets your hamstrings and also engages your muscles in your hips and back.

Very nice exercise. It's very easy to see how this draws in a LOT of core/stabilizer muscle work as well. That's why ball exercises are so good overall.
I was just about to make a comment similar to globalman. Good control, good form. I have people do this as an active rest between deep posterior chain stretches. -ElasticSteel
so is this, just with less resistance. i was able to develop the initial strength necessary for the glute-ham raise by working with the one-leg variation shown in this video.
Excellent videos. Here one sees reality and not manicured perfection. The ball does not always stay put and we see how Adam needs to adjust his feet on the ball to stay balanced and in form. When I began with the ball I always thought I did something wrong as I had to adjust my position. It also helps that I can see his body and muscles....aside from the aesthtic appeal one sees clearly how the movements should look and feel.
really it's a very good exersice!! it stimulates the muscles very well, and improves your balance. one of the best basketball players in the world (LeBron James) does these very often in his summer workout routine.
