Lying leg curl: how to do it

1 of 3

Knees in line with the pivot

  1. Starting position

    Lie face down with your knees in line with the machine's pivot and the pad above your heels, keep your hips down and grip the handles.

  2. The movement

    Bend your knees and pull your heels toward your butt, stop without lifting your hips and then lower your legs slowly.

Most common mistake

Don't lift your hips off the bench to move the pad, press your hips down and bend only your knees.
