Instructions
1. Start by laying flat on your back on the floor, arms by your sides, with your heels on top of an exercise ball. Your legs should be straight.
2. Push your hips upwards, forming a straight line from your shoulders to your ankles, engaging your core and glutes.
3. While keeping your hips elevated, bend your knees and roll the ball towards you, bringing your heels close to your glutes. Your hips should remain lifted throughout the movement.
4. Slowly straighten your legs, rolling the ball back to the starting position while maintaining a tight core and elevated hips.
5. Repeat the leg curl for the desired number of repetitions and sets. Ensure to keep the movement controlled and steady, focusing on using your hamstring muscles to perform the curl.
Make sure to use a ball size that is appropriate for your height and adjust the difficulty by changing the distance your feet are from your body when you start the exercise. The closer the ball is to your body, the less challenging the exercise may be.
