The ball leg curl is a low-impact, highly effective way to build hamstring strength and joint stability. It also improves glute engagement and core activation — perfect for both rehab and performance.
Instructions
- Lie on your back with your heels on top of an exercise ball and arms by your sides.
- Raise your hips until your body forms a straight line from shoulders to heels.
- Bend your knees to roll the ball toward your glutes, contracting your hamstrings.
- Pause briefly, then extend your legs to return to the starting position.
- Keep your hips lifted throughout the movement.
