Leg Curl

Video coming soon...

The leg curl workout primarily targets the hamstrings, using a machine specifically designed for this purpose.

The machine is used by lying face down and placing the ankles under the padded lever, then curling the legs up towards the buttocks.

While the leg curl also engages secondary muscles like the glutes and calves, its main focus is on strengthening and toning the hamstrings.

Adjust the leg curl machine to fit your body by setting the seat height and footpad position.
Lie face down on the machine with your legs extended and your ankles against the footpad.
Grasp the handles or sides of the machine for stability.
Bend your knees to lift the footpad towards your glutes, squeezing your hamstrings.
Pause briefly at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the footpad back to the starting position.
Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Adjust the machine to fit your body properly, ensuring your knees align with the pivot point.
Start with a light weight and gradually increase to avoid strain or injury.
Maintain a controlled movement throughout the exercise, focusing on squeezing your hamstrings.
Keep your back flat against the pad and avoid arching or rounding your spine.
Exhale as you curl your legs up and inhale as you slowly lower them down.
Avoid using momentum or swinging your legs, as it reduces the effectiveness of the exercise.
