Also make sure that your legs form a 90 degree angle between the lower and upper leg. Using your quadriceps, extend your legs to the maximum as you exhale.

Hamstring curl helps to tone up your hamstrings. Place your mat on the floor. Lie on the yoga mat on your stomach and keep your legs and feet together at all times during the exercise.

Hold for ten seconds and then bring them back down, but do not let your feet and leg touch the ground.
