Ball Leg Curl

The Ball Leg Curl is where you lie down, pop your paws on a big squishy ball, and roll it in nice and slow. It gives your hamstrings and glutes a real bear-boost! Great for building strong back legs - for climbing trees or chasing butterflies!

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.

Benefits

Key Points

• Do not allow your hips to sag.

Common Mistakes

• Letting the hips sag during the exercise.
