Instructions
Positioning:
Sit on the edge of a sturdy chair with your back straight and feet flat on the ground.
Place your hands on the sides of the chair for support.
Keep your knees bent at a 90-degree angle, ensuring your knees are aligned over your ankles.
Starting Position:
Keeping your right foot flat on the ground, lift your left foot off the ground, bending the left knee.
Bring your left heel towards your glutes, engaging your hamstring muscle.
Movement:
Slowly curl your left leg back down to the starting position, keeping control throughout the movement.
Repeat this curling motion for the desired number of repetitions.
Switch Sides:
After completing the repetitions with your left leg, switch to your right leg and repeat the same movement.
Breathing:
Inhale as you curl your heel towards your glutes and exhale as you lower your leg back down.
Repetitions:
Aim for 10-15 repetitions on each leg for a complete set.
Tips:
Keep your movements slow and controlled to maximize engagement of the hamstrings.
Avoid leaning back or using momentum; focus on isolating the movement to your legs.
