The leg curl is an ideal machine for training the back of the thigh without putting too much strain on the spine. The machine is suitable for beginners as the movement is guided. The leg curl is also a good exercise for advanced users.
Adjust the machine settings so that they are right for you. Sit on the seat and hold on to the handles (if available).
2
Position your knees under the knee roll and your heels in front of the foot roll. Your legs are almost fully extended forwards.
3
Bend your knee joints forcefully by pushing your heels back against the pad. Move backwards until the maximum contraction is reached. Hold the position briefly and exhale.
4
Stretch your knee joints slowly and in a controlled manner until your legs are stretched again and you are in the starting position.
5
One repetition has now been completed. Repeat this process for the specified number of repetitions.
Tip
Do not fully straighten your legs and bring your heels as far back as possible. Your knee joint should be in line with the machine's pivot joint. Make sure that the roller is not directly above your knee, but slightly behind it on your thigh. Sit with your back completely against the backrest and make sure that you do not have a hunched back.
