Resistance Band Seated Single-Leg Hugging Knee Flexion
The seated knee bend with a flat band looped around the front of the ankle and pulled back by the hand, the heel sliding in on a slider.
How to do it
Setup
Seated tall, one knee bent, the heel on a slider, a flat band around the front of that ankle, its ends in the hand beside the hip.
Steps
- Pull the band back as the heel slides in toward the seat.
- Pause at the deepest comfortable bend.
- Let the heel slide back out under control; switch legs after the set.
Common mistakes
Band slipping up the shin: loop it low around the ankle. Leaning back to pull: sit tall and pull with the arm. Letting the heel shoot out: return it slowly.
Breathing
Exhale on the curl, inhale extending.
