Hamstring Curl HK-stance Tips

  1. Position yourself correctly by lying face down on a mat with your legs extended and your toes pointed towards the ceiling. Keep your hands by your sides for support.
  2. Engage your core muscles by drawing your belly button in towards your spine. This will help stabilize your body and prevent any unnecessary strain on your lower back.
  3. Bend your knees and flex your feet, bringing your heels towards your glutes. Make sure to keep your knees close together and your legs parallel to the floor.
  4. As you exhale, contract your hamstrings to lift your feet towards the ceiling. Focus on squeezing your glutes at the top of the movement to maximize the engagement of your hamstrings.
  5. Slowly lower your feet back to the starting position as you inhale. Maintain control throughout the entire exercise, avoiding any swinging or jerking motions.
