Standing hamstring curls

| No TrackBacks
This is a simple exercise for developing the hamstring muscles. These are the muscles in the back of your upper thigh.

I strongly recommend that you use light weight for this exercise, to ensure good form.

1-Attach your ankle to the cable of the pulley tower. Stand tall and resist bending forward as you execute this movement.

2-curl your heel toward your buttock using a brisk movement. Imagine that you want to kick your heel to your butt.

Remember to use a light weight so that you don't have to lean forward to complete the full range of motion. You would do this exercise using 10-12 repetitions, 3-5 sets, and 2-3 times per week.

Please check with your healthcare provider before beginning any exercise program, to be sure that the exercises are right for your condition.
