Move It Monday: Hamstrings

Time to work your hamstrings.  Many people use the fronts of their legs, their quadriceps for most things. This will cause muscle imbalances and the next thing that you know you will have knee pain.  Time to balance things out!

It has been cold and rainy so this is a great exercise that you can do in your living room while stretching out.  All you need is a table or chair.

Lay next to the table, chair or if you are out on a walk a bench works great!

• Put your feet up on the solid surface.
• Lift your butt up off of the ground, pushing your heels into the bench.
• Squeeze your booty.
• To make this a little easier, just do it on the floor, no bench needed.
• To make it a little more difficult, keep one foot on the surface and lift the other one up.
• If you have a stability ball, you can put your feet on the top of the ball.
• This exercise works your core, hamstrings and butt.
