In the previous post I discussed the importance of integrating single leg squats\u00a0to improve strength and running performance. Today, I will reveal 3 different variations of single leg stability ball training to increase hip drive, acceleration, and overall running economy.<\/p>\n

In addition, these exercise can be used for hamstring strengthening, rehab and speed enhancement for any athletes. The\u00a0three exercises are\u00a0as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Straight leg bridge lift<\/li>\n
  2. Straight leg bridge with leg curl<\/li>\n
  3. Knee bent bridge lift<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    All three are very effexctive for improving strength and performance.\u00a0 The best part is that using the stability ball adds an element of stabilization and core training as well.\u00a0 I think you will find this is truly the best way to train your hamstrings independently if your goal is improved running performance.\u00a0 If the stability ball is too challenging at first, you can opt to do the straight leg and knee bent bridge lifts with the support leg on the floor.\u00a0 Click on the video below to view the exercises.<\/p>\n
