Exercise of the Week: Hamstring Bridge Curl

12/23/2020

Your hamstrings are such an important muscle that provide tons of stability in walking, running, bending over, etc.  They are often overlooked with the glutes and quads typically getting all the love.  It is good to have a few go-to hamstring exercises at home.  Here is one of my favorites: the hamstring bridge curl.

To start, you need something that will slide on your floor.  In the Danville clinic, we use old school furniture sliders, as you'll see below.  In San Ramon, we have sliders meant for floor workouts which can be found on Amazon.  In my garage, I use pieces of cardboard that seem to slide on the garage floor just fine (I know, I should probably upgrade).

Start by laying your back, legs out straight and bridge your butt up.  It only needs to come up an inch or less.

Next, bend one knee repeatedly, while maintaining your slight bridge with the opposite leg. Do 10-20 reps per leg for a 2-3 sets.  You should feel this in the stabilizing (or straight) leg.
Here is a video of it in action.
We hope you have a wonderful, safe, and healthy holiday and wish you a Happy New Year!

When you have strong hamstrings, you’re less prone to injury and pain. That’s because strong hamstrings can withstand the impact of exercise and help to stabilize your knees.
