The Leg curl seated machine is designed to target and strengthen the Hamstrings.

It isolates the Hamstrings without putting excessive strain on other muscles.

Sit on the leg curl seated machine with your back against the backrest and your feet flat on the footpad.
Adjust the machine so that the footpad is positioned just above your ankles.
Grasp the handles on the sides of the seat for support.
Exhale and contract your hamstrings to curl your legs, pulling the footpad towards your glutes.
Inhale and slowly extend your legs back to the starting position, keeping your back against the backrest throughout the movement.

Adjust the seat height so that your knees are aligned with the axis of the machine, ensuring proper range of motion and hamstring activation.
Start with a light weight and gradually increase as you get comfortable with the movement, focusing on feeling the hamstrings working.
Keep your back straight and firmly pressed against the backrest throughout the exercise to maintain proper form and prevent 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 or swinging your legs during the exercise, instead, focus on controlled and deliberate movements to fully target the hamstrings.
Don’t rush through the reps; aim for a slow and controlled eccentric (lowering) phase to fully engage the hamstrings and maximize muscle activation.
Remember to stretch your hamstrings after the workout to improve flexibility and reduce muscle tightness, helping prevent injuries and improve overall performance.
