BodyBall/Wall Hip Lifts Series:
1) Straight Leg Hip Lifts-50 reps
Tips: To perform the exercises lay on your back, bringing your bum close to the wall. Raise your legs straight in the air and put the physio-ball between your calves and the wall.
With your legs straight, lift your hips slowly up and then back down all the way to the ground – this is one rep. You should feel the exercise in your target areas of glutes and hamstrings.
2) Bent Knee Roll-Downs-50 reps
Tips: Hold the ball against the wall with your feet, hips up off the ground for the entire set. Bend your knees and then slowly straighten them, rolling the ball up and down the wall.
3) Straight Leg Drops-25 each leg
Tips: Hold the ball against the wall with straight legs and hips in the air for the entire exercise. Hold the ball with your left leg only and drop your right leg straight out to the side. Your goal is to get your right leg parallel and as close to the ground as you can and lift it back up again. After a set with your right leg, switch to your left.
