"Hi my name is Tanya Batts and I'm a personal trainer with Gold's Gym. I want to talk to you about a few hamstring exercises. Here's a few great ones. Take the legs a little wide. The hamstring is a big muscle so feel free to use resistance. This is only a ten pound weight but it is kind of great if you grab a 25 pound weight, legs are wide, really wide, toes flared out, lower and lift, inhale and exhale. So a heavier weight would be a lot better but you just lower, touch the floor with the weight if you can and that's butt, that's hamstring as well as inner thigh, one more, awesome, so hamstring. Here's another great one. You can just take this, lower down and lift and kick back. I like the weight. You can also have two weights, lifting and kicking that leg straight back. So that's a great hamstring exercise. So we've got this one, we've got the kickback one where you are lifting and kicking as well as lunges, they're really going to work for you too where you just kind of step forward, it's thigh, it's hamstring, push yourself back, other leg. So when you come down is awesome but when you push back that's where you are going to feel that hamstring. Working it, those are just a few things you can do to really strengthen up those hamstring muscles."
