Single Leg Dead Lift
The single leg dead lift is a great hamstring
exercise. Not only this, but this exercise is also great for
coordination and balance. Start with a five-pound dumbbell in
one hand and stand only on the opposite leg (figure
8). Keeping the knee straight, bend at the waist and
place the dumbbell near the opposite foot. The back leg should
reach toward the ceiling and be parallel to the ground. Return
to the starting position by straightening the back. Start with
two sets of 8 reps each leg and gradually increase to sets of
12-15. Once you are able to do this increase the weight of the
dumbbell up to thirty pounds for the stronger athletes.
