The
stability ball hip lift is a great way to exercise the
glutes and hamstrings. Start on your back with your feet on top
of the stability ball. Now, instead of just lifting your hips
think about pushing into the ball with your legs to elevate the
body (figure 10.1). Start
with 2 sets of eight and build to sets of 10-12. To take the
exercise to the next level, do it with one leg (figure
10.2). Start with 2 sets of five to each leg and
build to 2 sets of 10-12. Another variation, is to do the
exercise with a mediball, a gel filled medicine ball, under the
foot (figure 10.3). This
variation is very challenging for the hamstrings!
