For the step-up, you'll need a bench, an aerobic step, or some solid object to step onto. This exercise works the whole leg and glutes. Be sure to keep your heel flat on the bench when you do these.

Leg Exercise 4: Romanian Deadlift

One of the best exercises for working the hamstrings. The romanian deadlift will build strength through out your posterior chain - lower back, glutes, and hamstrings.

Leg Exercise 5: Swiss ball hamsting curl

This is one of the best hamstring exercises you can do. It works the entire hamstring, and it also significantly recruits the glutes at the same time. This is especially important for people who run, play sports, or are athletic. That's because the hamstrings and the glutes are often work together in movements like running, jumping, or even jogging. The inability to effectively use the entire muscle chain when engaging in these types of activities leads to low power output and potential injury. The swiss ball hamstring curl solves that problem.
