Alternate Exercise To Replace Lunges?

[Guest guest]

Today was my first LBWO. I had to stop during the lunges. I have iffy knees

so they were really uncomfortable.

I am looking for an alternate exercise to target the Hamstrings.

I already have deadlifts as part of my WO but was wondering if standing

hamstring curls with ankle weights would be enough.

I have adjustable ankle weights that go from 1-10 pounds. I can also double

them up to total 15 pounds.

Would a bridge work the hamstrings? It seems to target the glutes also.

TIA for any advice!!

You can use a ball and lay on the floor. Lift your butt off the floor

and bring the ball in and out slowly. This will get your hammies. You

can also alternate legs when you get a better balance which comes with

just doing it.

Also to increase the intensity of the Roman deadlifts do them with one

leg. So basically you lift one leg behind you while going down to your

feet. Just make sure to focus so you can keep your balance.

You might also try stationary lunges, so you are not moving in and out of

the lunge. I wouldn't use ankle weights for lunges. You might hold those

weights in your hands instead.

If you don't have a ball, you can rest your feet on a step, bench, or stool

for the bridge work to target the hamstrings. And if you do one leg at a

time with the other leg extended in the air, youch.
