Hamstring curls
Just wondering if there is an at home alternative to doing hamstring curls. I don’t like the one where you lay on your belly and hold a weight in between the feet and curl up and down. I feel it’s not effective with a light weight and I worry about dropping the weight if I go heavy. Any other alternative? Thanks!

You can also do the prone exercise with ankle weights instead of trying to balance a dumbbell. I agree, I can’t stand any of the exercises where you are supposed to hold a dumbbell with your leg. But most can be done with a resistance band and/or ankle weights with the same effect. |

You can use gliding discs instead of a stability ball too.

All of these suggestions are great! The Nordic Curls are new to me. I'm determined to figure out a way to do these at home without spending money on more equipment.
