This exercise is great for the more advanced stages in the rehabilitation of your injured hamstring muscles. Place the ball of your foot on a chair or bench that is knee height and maintain this pressure throughout. Engage and pull your inner core muscles in below your belly button while you squat straight down keeping your body vertical. Do not extend beyond a ninety degree bend in your knee while your knee stays in line with your hip and second toe and above your foot. Perform 3 sets of 10 for each side. The Squat Lunge Hops is a variation or progression of this exercise to something more challenging. When you come back up from the squat, push up as high as you can comfortably aiming for a soft & controlled landing. Do not extend beyond a ninety degree bend in your knee while your knee stays in line with your hip and second toe and above your foot. Perform 3 sets of 10 for each side. If you have any pain during the exercise or are unsure about what you are doing, consult your local Physiotherapist before continuing.
