Hello!
I have been searching around the internet for help in making a workout that avoids hamstring work but works out my upper body and possibly my calves. I am a runner (more like a jogger) and I have been restricted by my doctor and PT to first just stretching and now to swimming. I am feeling very "squishy" and need to get a good weight routine going. Does anyone have any ideas?
These exercises are sure to challenge even the healthiest of hamstrings. The single leg deadlift should be in everyone's training program. It's a key move for combining hamstring mobility and strength into one movement. All of these exercises can be progressed with speed as well as weight.
