Resistance Band Leg Curl
Standing with a small loop band around both ankles, curl one heel up behind you while the other foot pins the band to the floor.
How to do it
Setup
Standing tall, a loop band around both ankles, hands on the hips or a wall for balance.
Steps
- Curl one heel toward the buttock, knees side by side.
- Keep the standing knee soft and the hips level.
- Lower the foot to the floor slowly; finish the leg, switch.
Common mistakes
Working knee drifting forward: it stays beside the other one. Leaning forward to lift the heel higher: stand tall; the range is what it is. Band rolling down onto the feet: wear it above the ankle bones.
Breathing
Exhale on the curl, inhale lowering.
