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.
This is NOT an easy exercise, but it's amazing for your hamstrings. It's like doing a Superman or Back Hyperextension, but using your hamstrings to do the work instead of your back. You'll need someone to hold your feet as you use your hamstrings to lower your body to the floor and pull back up.
