In this clip, we're going to focus on a standing hamstring curl working unilateral. So it's going to be a little bit of a balance challenge. You want to get the movement down without any resistance. And then if you want to bump it up a level, you can vary your thickness of tubing and add in some resistance. There are other ways to add in resistance. We're going to work it right now with tubing. So we're going to have one rest in here, one out in front. If we cross them, it's going to get even tougher. We're going to start by lifting our chest, shooting that energy right up through the top of the head. Working the hamstring, the bicep muscle of the leg. Curl up and release. Curl and release back. Making sure that when I come back to hit contraction and resist with the tubing that I don't arch in the low back. Nice, neutral posture. Contract and release. You don't have to excessively point or flex the foot, because the work needs to be in the hamstring, just kind of let the foot relax and just wrap the tubing right around the arch of your shoe. Ten to 15 reps to fatigue on each side, three sets.
