Exercise of the Week

 

Hamstring Curls Supine, Hips in Neutral Position

Difficulty: Moderate
(Consult your chiropractor before doing this or any other exercise.)
Start: Lie on back, lower legs resting on ball, knees straight. Hands can rest on hips with elbows touching floor. Press down into ball with legs, lifting hips until entire body is in a straight position, feet to shoulders. Stabilize with stomach tucked in and hold.image
Exercise: Roll ball toward buttocks using both feet. As ball comes closer to buttocks, hips should rise but not bend, keeping a straight line between knees, hips and shoulders. Curl legs to
90 degrees & hold for 2 counts.image

Return to starting position, maintaining a tight abdomen
throughout. Repeat 5-10 times.
