Hamstrings Exercise: Leg Curl

Location: Back of upper leg

Exercise: Leg Curl

Inventory: Lie flat on your stomach, up on your elbows. Hold your body tightly. Don’t let your belly rest on the floor- contract your abdominals. Buttocks and legs are also contracted.

Movement: Bending at the knee, curl your legs up until your heels touch your buttocks. Slowly bring your feet back to the floor. This can be done one leg at a time or both together.

Proper Form: 

• Mentally concentrate on the muscle(s) being worked.
• You are creating your own resistance so stay focused.
• For added resistance add ankle weights
• Breathe normally
