Foam Roller Hamstring Walk

Exercise Overview

This is a strengthening and stability exercise for the knee flexors and hip extensors. Start by lying down on your back with your feet on a foam roller while your knees are bent. Lift your pelvis off of the ground until your hip is in neutral alignment (the side seam of your shirt should be aligned with the side seam of your pant). Keep the core braced to maintain a neutral spine. From here, slowly use your feet to roll the foam roller away from your buttocks. This process will slowly lower the body towards the floor. Continue until your knees are almost straight then use your feet to roll the foam roller back towards your hips. Lower the pelvic to complete 1 round of this exercise.
