Lying Hamstrings Curl
Want to see how this fits into a real workout? 612 band workouts are free, no credit card, no trial clock. Join free here.
Lying flat removes the one thing that lets you cheat a hamstring curl, which is rocking your hips to start the movement. The band will not let you borrow momentum either. Cramping the first few times is common, and it means the Hamstrings are finally doing the work on their own.
Set Up
Anchor: Door anchor at the bottom of the door.
Bands: Clip each end of the band to an ankle strap.
Body position: Fasten the ankle straps around your ankles and lie on the floor three to four feet from the door. Backside down, back flat.
Movement
Bend both legs together and bring your heels toward your backside.
Points To Remember
- Keep your calves and feet relaxed. If you cannot, point your toes.
- Do not let your hips lift as you bend your legs. Keep them down.
