HEATHER: Hamstring/Quad

[Guest guest]

-

I'm going thru old posts and I have a question. I did try your suggestion,

but how do you position the ball and hold the weights? I mean, do you put

the weights on the ground, position the ball, squat, lift the weights - and

continue the exercise? Or do you hold the weights in your hand AND somehow

manage to position the ball where it needs to be?

I am not sure if this was me or the other . But I do these for my

hamstrings, quads and butt. I position the ball, with the weights in my hand.

Of course the ball is floating somewhere behind me. So I search it out with my

foot, while balancing. Once I find it, you will have to get the ball just

right and put pressure on the tip of your toes, to keep the ball in place...yes,

this takes practice. Slowly lower yourself down and balance, and then rise up.

When I do these I use 15 pound weights in each hand and do 4 reps. of 12.
