Sliding Leg Curl
How to do it
- Lie on your back on a smooth floor with your heels on a towel or a pair of sliders.
- Lift your hips into a bridge, body straight from shoulders to heels.
- Keeping your hips up, slide your heels away from you until your legs are almost straight.
- Pull them back in by contracting your hamstrings.
- Slide out only as far as you can keep your hips lifted.
