Band Lying Leg Curl
Lying face down with a band anchored behind the feet and looped around the ankles, curl the heels toward the glutes against it.
How to do it
Setup
Face down on the floor, a pad under the hips, the band from a low anchor behind looped around both ankles, forearms under the chin.
Steps
- Draw both heels in toward the glutes against the band.
- Press the front of the hips down as the band tightens.
- Let the legs lengthen slowly, the band never slack.
Common mistakes
Band slack at the start: move farther from the anchor until it pulls with the legs straight. Hips lifting off the pad at the top: press them down. Letting the band slam the feet to the floor: the return is slow.
Breathing
Exhale on the curl, inhale lowering.
