Glute Ham Raise Guide

Main Muscle: Hamstrings

  1. Begin by adjusting the equipment to fit your body. Place your feet against the footplate in between the rollers as you lie facedown. Your knees should be just behind the pad.
  2. Start from the bottom of the movement. Keep your back arched as you begin the movement by flexing the knees. Drive your toes into the foot plate as you do so. Keep your upper body straight, and continue until your body is upright.
  3. Return to the starting position, keeping your descent under control.

Aug 1, 2011 3:28 PM: To perform without equipment: Lie face down, anchor feet (either under partner's hands or a sit-up anchor)...start in the up position (lower leg flat on ground, thighs and upper body in straight vertical line) then, slowly and controlled, lower yourself while using your hams/glutes to resist gravity...+See More

May 9, 2011 8:13 AM: Excellent exercise but agree that not everyone has this sort of equipment in their gyms so it would be nice to have a demo of this exercise done without a machine.
