Exercise Seated Leg Curls: Technique and Common Errors

After deciding on the appropriate weight, move the pad until it is comfortable resting above the rear of the heels.

Reduce the weight a little bit off the stack to tighten up the hamstrings. This is where you should start the exercise.

Squeeze your hamstrings, inhale deeply, and curl the weight as high as you can without arching your back.

After completing the required number of repetitions, carefully return the weight to its starting position.

Tips for Seated Leg Curls

Keep the knees just short of lockout to maintain tension in the hamstrings.

Maintain a straight back by pressing your hips against the pad.

Maintain a flat low back against the pad during the entire exercise.

Make sure the head is not thrust too far forward.

Control the movement throughout the whole range of motion and resist the urge to let momentum dictate the pace of the exercise.
