Hamstring Exercises

Your hamstrings are the back of your thighs. They balance out the total look of your legs. They needed attention, but not as much as your quadriceps. There are not as near as many exercises for your hamstrings, but here are a few.

1.) Hamstring curls. These are on a bench either standing or laying down on a machine. Place your ankles under the ankle pad and curl into your buttocks. Repeat.

2.) Reverse Leg Extension. Sit on the machine with your back flat on the bench and the top pad over your thighs and the lower pad under your ankles. Then lower the weight.

You can also play around with various squats that will put the focus on your hamstrings.
