Swiss Ball Hamstring Curl: how to do it and form tips

A bodyweight hamstring exercise performed with feet on a Swiss ball, curling the ball toward you while maintaining a hip bridge to train knee flexion and hip extension simultaneously.

Form tips

  1. Keep your hips elevated in a bridge throughout all reps — sagging hips transfer the work away from the hamstrings.
  2. Straighten your legs slowly on the return phase; the eccentric is where most of the benefit lies.
  3. To increase difficulty, perform the curl one leg at a time.
