STRICT FORM ... FEEL THE MUSCLE
[ ** BACK TO EXERCISE PAGE ** ]

<  LYING LEG CURLS  >

Start Position: Adjust a leg curl machine or attachment so that the rollers rest just above your heels. Lie on your stomach and hold on to the bench or handles on either side.

MidPoint: Keeping abs tights and hips on the bench, curl the weight as close to your glutes as you can, pausing and squeezing glutes for a moment at the top.

Finish Position: Slowly lower your feet back to the starting position, but don't let the weight touch the bottom before beginning the next rep. Do 8-12 reps for a set. You can also do these holding a dumbbell between your feet, or one leg at a time on a machine.
