Seated Hamstring Curl

SEATED HAMSTRING CURL

This is a hamstring strengthening exercise. Start by sitting on a chair with a band anchored to a stable object in front of you. Loop the other end of the band around the back of your ankle. Position the body so that there is tension on the band when the knee has a soft bend in it. Proceed to curl the band by bending the knee to engage the knee flexor muscles. Hold for 1-2 seconds and extend the knee to complete a repetition.
