Leg Curl Lying

Video coming soon...

The leg curl lying workout primarily engages the Hamstrings. This machine targets the back of the thighs without overworking secondary muscles.

Adjust the leg curl machine to your desired settings, ensuring that the back pad is aligned with your ankles and the leg pad is resting on your thighs.
Lie face down on the machine with your legs fully extended and your toes pointing forward.
Grasp the handles of the machine for stability and support.
Bend your knees, bringing your heels towards your glutes while keeping your thighs on the leg pad.
Pause briefly at the top of the movement, then slowly extend your legs back to the starting position.

Position yourself correctly on the leg curl machine, ensuring your knees are aligned with the pivot point to target your hamstrings effectively.
Start with a light weight and gradually increase as you gain strength and confidence, focusing on maintaining proper form throughout the exercise.
Keep your core engaged and your back flat against the bench to avoid unnecessary strain on your lower back.
Exhale as you curl your legs towards your glutes, squeezing your hamstrings at the top of the movement for maximum engagement.
Avoid using momentum to lift the weight; instead, focus on controlled and deliberate movements to fully activate your hamstrings.
Don’t forget to stretch your hamstrings after the exercise to improve flexibility and prevent muscle tightness.
Include the leg curl lying exercise in your leg day routine at least twice a week to see noticeable improvements in hamstring strength and definition.
