Instructions
90/90 Hamstring
Lie on your back, with one leg extended straight out.
With the other leg, bend the hip and knee to 90 degrees. You may brace your leg with your hands if necessary. This will be your starting position.
Extend your leg straight into the air, pausing briefly at the top. Return the leg to the starting position.
Repeat for 10-20 repetitions, and then switch to the other leg.
Kettlebell One-Legged Deadlift
Hold a kettlebell by the handle in one hand. Stand on one leg, on the same side that you hold the kettlebell.
Keeping that knee slightly bent, perform a stiff legged deadlift by bending at the hip, extending your free leg behind you for balance.
Continue lowering the kettlebell until you are parallel to the ground, and then return to the upright position.
