This past week I was introduced to a new stability ball exercise that had my muscles working hard. The lying hamstring curl is a simple yet effective move that targets your glutes, hamstrings, and abs all at once! This exercise involves lying on the floor with your heels and calves atop a stability ball, your arms pressed flat on the floor for balance and your torso engaged and lifted, not coming down until the set is complete. You then move the ball in towards your bottom and out again.
For an added challenge, you can do the hip bridge to unilateral heel drag, which is the same exercise but using only one foot to move the stability ball instead of two, alternating legs between sets. If you have access to a stability ball, consider implementing this exercise yourself!
