If you workout at home, I bet your list of hamstring exercises is pretty short. You aren’t alone. The hamstrings are a little hard to work without big fancy gym equipment. In my own personal workout, I rely heavily on our Prone Hamstring Curl Machine, Hammer Strength Seated Hamstring Machine and Hammer Strength Standing Hamstring machine – so what would I do if I didn’t have access to these awesome machines? Plenty!
15 Hamstring Exercises
Here are some hamstring exercises that require little to no equipment so your hamstrings don’t get left out of your home workout routine. Choose 3-5 exercises per workout. Do 3-4 sets of 18-20 reps (25 reps for exercises with no resistance).
Dumbbell Stiff-legged Deadlift- Barbell Deadlift
- Romanian Barbell Deadlift
- Dumbbell Single-leg Deadlift
- Prone Hamstring Curls With Bands
- Cable Hamstring Curl
- Geronimo
- Bridge
- Bridge With Leg Lift
- Swiss Ball Leg Curl
- Swiss Ball Glute Bridge
- Resistance Band Hip Raise
- Dumbbell Leg Curl (using multi-purpose bench)

- Good Morning
5 Hamstring Stretches

I also want to start practicing at home. On the other hand I do not know whether regular bench crunches http://www.open-youweb.com/lawka-do-brzuszkow-olympics-sport-opinia/ will be good and maybe better to buy something better?

I’ve been surfing on-line more than three hours lately, yet I by no means found any
interesting article like yours. It is pretty price enough for me.
In my opinion, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you did,
the web will likely be much more useful than ever before.

Thanks for sharing this list. Dumbbell stiff leg has been my long time favorite for hams, I have more “depth” control than the barbell. I’ll start incorporating some of these into my workout.

An outstanding share! I have just forwarded this
onto a coworker who has been conducting a little research on this.
And he in fact bought me lunch due to the fact that
I stumbled upon it for him… lol. So allow me to reword this….
Thank YOU for the meal!! But yeah, thanks for spending some time to discuss this matter here on your web site.

An interesting discussion is worth comment. I believe that you need to write
more about this subject, it may not be a taboo subject but generally
people don’t speak about such issues. To the next! Cheers!!

Hands down dead lifts (although no stiff-legged though since back surgery). In fact, dead lifts are my favorite lift of any body part!

It’s good that you’ve included the stretching part, because not everyone does. I and I’m sure others forget this part of the routine!

Last thing, if I did the machines and the Dumbbell stiff-legged deadlift 5 days a week while increasing reps weekly, how soon until I started seeing results?

It really depends on your cardio & diet. If everything is spot on, you’d probably see results in a matter of 2-4 weeks.
