Seated Leg Curl

Strengthen your hamstrings using a machine-supported curl.

The Seated Leg Curl machine is a staple for hamstring development. It’s a great option for FitnessTracker users who prefer guided resistance or are managing recovery from injury. It provides support for the torso and reduces stress on the lower back while targeting the back of the thigh.

Instructions

  1. Adjust the machine to your height and sit with your back against the pad.
  2. Position your lower legs just below the padded lever and secure the lap pad above your knees.
  3. Point your toes forward and fully extend your legs to start.
  4. Flex your knees to pull the lever back, squeezing your hamstrings at the peak.
  5. Pause briefly, then return to the starting position with control.
  6. Repeat for the desired number of reps.
