It is extremely rare to see anyone with hamstrings too strong in relation to quads -- almost everyone is the opposite. She likely does not have to be afraid of over-developed hamstrings, especially if her past training centered on running.

For hamstring training, I would recommend some stiff-legged deadlifts or even good mornings, with light weights in the beginning so she can get used to the load. These do not require significant flexion of the knee joint like leg curls.

One other thought is for her to explore some myofascial release in the quads and iliotibial band, either from a specialist or with a foam roll she can use herself. It will likely be painful at first, especially on the IT band, but could prove useful if those areas are still very tight.

I don't see anything wrong with the aquatic exercises, but also I don't think there's anything particularly great about them. The above items I mentioned will probably keep her busy enough. [img]smile.gif[/img]
