Standing Leg Curl Machine Tips

  1. Adjust the machine to fit your body, ensuring proper alignment of your knees and ankles.
  2. Position yourself with your back straight against the pad and grip the handles for stability.
  3. Engage your core muscles and exhale as you curl your leg up, focusing on contracting your hamstrings.
  4. Avoid using momentum or swinging your body to lift the weight; maintain controlled and steady movements.
