Natural Glute Ham Raise

Legs · Bodyweight

How to do it

Kneel with your ankles held (by a partner, a machine or under something solid). Lower your body forward **keeping a straight line from knees to head** and braking with the hamstrings as long as you can; when you lose control, catch yourself with your hands and push back up. It is the best-supported exercise for preventing hamstring injuries. You feel brutal tension behind the thigh. Start with a short range: almost nobody can lower all the way at first.
