Purpose: Strengthen the hamstrings muscles without having to move the knee. Starting Position: Sit in a chair with your heel against the leg of the chair and your feet firmly on the floor. Action: Press your heel firmly backwards into the chair leg feeling the back of your thigh tightening/clenching.
Start with hamstring-working exercises because your hamstrings can be a tough muscle group to bulk. If youâre hitting the gym, a lying leg curl where you lie on your stomach and bring your legs in toward your buttocks can work the hamstrings.
