Ball Leg Curl

Instructions

1. Lie on your back with your arms at your sides and your calves resting on a stability ball.
2. Lift your hips off the floor so your body forms a straight line from shoulders to knees.
3. Pull your heels toward your glutes, rolling the ball toward you, by bending your knees.
4. Pause for a moment, then slowly straighten your legs to roll the ball back to the starting position.
