The suspension trainer hamstring curl is a highly effective exercise for targeting the hamstring muscles.

  4. Lean forward, keeping your back straight and your core engaged.
  5. Extend your legs straight in front of you, lifting your heels off the ground.

Suspension Trainer Hamstring Curl Tips

  1. Position yourself facing the anchor point, lying on your back with your heels in the foot cradles of the suspension trainer.
  2. Engage your core muscles by drawing your navel towards your spine, and press your lower back into the ground to maintain a stable and aligned body position.
  3. With control, exhale as you bend your knees and curl your heels towards your glutes, focusing on squeezing your hamstrings at the top of the movement.
  4. Avoid using momentum or swinging your legs; instead, maintain a slow and controlled pace throughout the exercise to fully engage your hamstrings and prevent strain on your lower back.
  5. To increase the challenge, try extending your legs fully before initiating the next repetition, ensuring a full range of motion and maximizing the activation of your hamstrings.
