The leg curl is an ideal machine for training the back of the thighs and buttocks 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 to suit your needs. Lie on your stomach on the pad and hold on to the handles (if available).
2
Position your knees on the pad and your heels under the roller. Your legs are almost completely stretched out behind you.
3
Bend your knee joints powerfully by pushing your heels back against the pad. Go back as far as possible until you reach maximum contraction. Hold the position briefly and exhale as you do so.
4
Slowly and carefully extend your knee joints until your legs are straight again and you are back in the starting position.
5
A repetition has thus been performed. 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.
