How to do the Ball Leg Curl
- 1
Begin on the floor laying on your back with your feet on top of the ball.
- 2
Position the ball so that when your legs are extended your ankles are on top of the ball. This will be your starting position.
- 3
Raise your hips off of the ground, keeping your weight on the shoulder blades and your feet.
- 4
Flex the knees, pulling the ball as close to you as you can, contracting the hamstrings.
- 5
After a brief pause, return to the starting position.
Log it, see it on your body.
