Surprisingly hard to do and effective

Hamstring super-slows
The slower you go, the harder you work! Hold a kitchen counter or other large friendly object. Keep your knees even with each other. Take 10 seconds to curl a heel up toward your buns. (bend the knee) Take 10 seconds to lower it back down. Do 10 times. If your leg is ratcheting or jerking, you need to make the exercise easier by doing it faster (take 5 seconds instead) This trick works the hammie's talent for knee flexion. Watch out as your body may try to cheat by bringing the working knee forward of the standing knee! (that increases tension in the hamstring by lengthening it via the hip joint, and so makes the exercise easier)
