| Muscles worked: |
|
Hamstrings |
| Instructions: |
- Stand so that your Achilles Tendon (above heel/below calf) is in the
middle of the roller pads.
- Hold on to the bars ahead of you while keeping your back straight and
abdominals tight.
- Slowly raise one foot at a time by lifting your foot upwards, towards
your buttocks to a 90 degree angle while contracting your hamstrings. Hold
this position for a split second.
- Return to starting position in a slow, controlled manner.
|
| Don'ts: |
- Don't use momentum (jerking) to get the weight up.
- Don't bend or arch your back in order to get the weight up. Stand up
straight with good posture and keep abdominals tight.
- Don't rest very long between alternating legs. One set constitutes
separately working both legs. There is no reason to rest too long between sets (when
- one set of right and left leg has been completed), because the alternate
leg has had a natural rest.
|
| Alternate exercises: |
|
|
| Note: |
- Do a full set with one leg and then switch to the other leg for a full
set--don't alternate each repetition.
