Hip Extensions for Toned Hamstrings

Hip extensions are the best hamstring exercises especially ones that involve the core, glutes, and calves. The two variations below are both single leg exercises which are more challenging but also more effective. You really have to use your abs and glutes to balance your body so you'll burn more calories while doing them.


Exercise
1 Leg SLDL
1. Start by holding a dumbell in your right hand.
2. Keeping your back straight and your left leg straight bend forward letting your right leg come off the ground and behind you.
3. Bend forward until a comfortable range of motion is reached.
4. Return to the starting position and repeat with the other leg and arm.
5. Alternate back and forth until the desired repetitions are met.
