Hamstring Lean

Strengthens hamstrings. Kneel on the floor with your back straight, hands at your sides. Anchor your feet under a couch or other heavy piece of furniture (or have a partner hold them firmly). Keeping your thighs, hips, and back aligned, lean forward as far as possible without bending at the waist. Return to start. Do three sets of ten repetitions, with a one-minute rest between sets.
