Exercise of the Week

Hamstring Curls Supine, Hips Held Motionless

Difficulty: Easy to 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.

Exercise: Roll ball toward buttocks using both feet. As
ball comes closer to buttocks, hips should keep still, neither
rising, falling or tilting to sides. Curl legs to 90 degrees and hold for 2 counts.

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