Seated Leg Curl
Isolates the hamstrings for size and knee health.
What it works
Legs
How to do it
- 1Sit with the thigh pad locked down and the ankle pad on the lower calf.
- 2Curl the heels down and back, squeeze, and return under control.
- 3The seated position puts the hamstrings on a longer stretch than the lying version, which is why many people feel it more.
Cues that matter
- ›Drive the heels down and under
- ›Squeeze the hamstrings
- ›Slow return
