Can anybody suggest an alternative to stability ball leg curls ?

[pom99]

I don't have access to any equipment or to a gym. I have just started following a bodyweight circuit routine and one of the exercises is the stability ball leg curl. Can you suggest an alternative as I don't have a stability ball.
Thanks.

One of my favourites is bodyweight hamstring raises, all you need is a way to anchor your feet.

Try stiff-legged dumbbell deadlifts.

You can do pretty much the same motion by doing reverse crunches. Lie flat on your back and hold on to something overhead - a piece of furniture, the food of the bed, etc. Start with your legs bent and your shins parallel to the ground and use your abs to curl backwards and raise your hips off the ground. Return to the starting position.

It's just the curl w/out the support of the ball.

A couple of body weight hamstring exercises:

Single leg Deadlifts: These require fairly good balance and stability, but even without added weight can be quite challenging and target the glutes and hamstrings nicely.

Three Way Hamstring Touch: Very similar to the single leg deadlifts.

Glute ham raises: As the other poster mentioned, this is a fantastic exercise - but require good range of motion and can be awkward to perform without someone holding your ankles - but are doable.

Just search the names of the exercises in google and you'll find demonstrations of how to perform them.
