Working in a quad position on an all fours, we're going to work with hamstring curls, hamstring leg lifts, and we're going to add in the challenge of tubing variable resistance. So depending on the thickness of your tube will dictate the amount of difficulty or resistance you're going to get. So square yourself off with your knees hip-width apart; hands right underneath the shoulders; nice, neutral cervical posture. We don't want to hyperflex or point, just sort of relax and lead with the hamstring. Exhale on contraction, inhale down. So I inhale and exhale when I lift. I don't want to lift any higher than the hip joint, because after that exercise is over and you're not engaging the hamstring anymore. The hamstring is connected to the low back, so the low back is going to start taking over. The goal of the exercise is to really focus in on the hamstring, where the glutes and the hams meet, so you can create that nice, separation bicep of the leg. Now, the further away I pull the tubing, the more of a challenge that's going to get, as the tubing gets tighter. Working in 10 to 15 rep range, three sets.
