Instructions
1. Lie flat on the floor on your back with your legs extended straight in front of you and your arms by your sides.
2. Engage your core and keep your lower back pressed to the floor.
3. Bend your knees and bring your feet up towards your glutes, performing a reverse leg curl movement.
4. Pause for a moment when your heels are close to your buttocks.
5. Slowly extend your legs back to the starting position without touching the floor with your feet to keep tension on the hamstrings and glutes.
6. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.
Make sure to perform the exercise in a controlled manner, focusing on the contraction of the hamstrings during the curling motion and maintaining continuous tension throughout the exercise. Avoid using momentum or allowing your lower back to arch off the ground during the movement.
