Hamstrings are located at the back of the thigh and the back of the shinbone, below the knee. Two exercises related to it are described below.
Hamstrings strengthening contractions * sit on a chair with heels on floor * without moving heels pull back on them - tension will be felt in the hamstrings * retain the state for a count of 10 * loosen the tension for a count of 3 * perform 10 repetitions Hamstrings strengthening curls * lie with the stomach on the floor * place the left foot on the back of the right heel * pull the right heel towards the buttocks - resist this motion with left leg * this opposite movement contracts the hamstrings * hold the contraction for a count of 10 and then release for a count of 3 * perform 10 repetitions When a person walks backwards, the body weight is distributed more evenly. This causes less stress on the knees and develops the hamstrings.
