Hamstring Curl

This machine targets specifically the muscles in the back of your thigh. We know these muscles are vital for the control and health of your knees. The hamstring muscles are used less often in daily life and often become weak as a result. To maintain balance in your thigh muscles, it’s important to strengthen hamstring muscles.  

Firstly, lay on your front, holding onto the handles and ensure the roll is located at the bottom of your legs just above your heels. Press your legs into the roll and bring your heel in the direction of your buttocks. Once you have reached your maximal range, slowly return your legs back to the starting position. 

Progression/Regression

To alter the difficulty of the exercise you can adjust the pin on the machine to change to your desired weight.
