Deadlifts, Hamstring Rolls and More Exercises for the Hamstrings

Hamstring Rolls on the Ball

Hamstring Roll on the Ball

1. Lie down on the floor and place both heels on the exercise ball.
2. Lift the hips up so that your body is in a straight line from head to toes.
3. Press the heels into the ball to roll the ball in, contracting the hamstrings. Keep the feet flexed.
4. Roll the ball back out, keeping the hips lifted.
5. Repeat for 1-3 sets of 8-16 reps. For a modification, lower the hips to the floor after rolling the ball out to decrease the intensity.
