Band Standing Leg Curl

Target Muscle

Equipment

1

Stand facing the post with the band attached to your right ankle, and your feet hip-width apart for balance.

2

Slowly bend your right knee, pulling your heel up towards your glutes, while keeping your thighs aligned and your upper body still.

3

Hold this position for a moment, feeling the tension in your hamstring.

4

Slowly lower your right foot back down to the starting position, ensuring to maintain control over the movement rather than letting the band snap back. Repeat this for the desired number of reps, then switch to the other leg.

Avoid leaning too far forward or backward as it can put unnecessary strain on your lower back. Keep your upper body still and only move your legs during this exercise. Avoid Overstretching the Band: Don't use a resistance band that's too tight or too loose. The band should provide enough resistance to challenge your muscles, but not so much that it causes
