How to do a foam roller hamstring curl

Lie on your back with the heels on the roller and the legs long.
Lift the hips into a bridge and hold them up.
Pull the roller toward the glutes by bending the knees.
Push it back out slowly without dropping the hips.

Form tips

Hips stay lifted for the entire set.
Press your arms into the floor for stability.
Fully control the roll out, that is the hardest part.
