Ball Leg Curl
A lower body exercise using an exercise ball to work on the hamstrings and glutes.
Instructions
- Lie faceup on the floor with your lower legs on top of a Swiss ball.
- Bridge your hips to lift your body off the floor, forming a straight line from shoulders to knees.
- Bend your knees and pull the ball toward your hips.
- Extend your legs to return to the start.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Hips sagging during the curl.
- Not aligning the body in a straight line from knees to shoulders.
- Using momentum to pull the ball rather than muscle engagement.
