Platform Hamstring Slides

How to do it

You need a floor that slides. Lie on your back with your legs straight and a towel or a plate under your heels. Lift your hips until shoulders, hips and heels are in line. From there, **bend your knees dragging your heels towards your glutes**, hold a second and extend slowly without letting the hips drop. It is a hamstring curl with no machine and no weight, and still one of the ones that burns most. The classic mistake is letting the hips fall as the legs extend: once they drop the hamstring rests and the exercise disappears.

Variants

The drawing shows one way of doing it, and the technique above describes that one. Almost every exercise has variants — standing or seated, the grip, the bench angle — and is still the same exercise: if you do it another way, write it in the exercise note and you will have it every time you train it.
