Watch the video tutorial to master your seated leg curl technique and maximize hamstring activation.
How to Do a Seated Leg Curl?
Sit on the machine with your legs spread hip-width apart. Engage your core and pull your toes toward yourself. Adjust the machine so your knees are securely positioned and the lower pad rests on your calf or Achilles tendon.
Maintain a neutral spine with your head and back aligned. Without lifting your hips off the seat, curl your heels toward your glutes as far as possible.
Slowly return to the starting position while maintaining control and proper posture.
What Muscles Does It Work?
- ✅ Hamstrings (back of the thighs)
- ✅ Calves (as stabilizers)
Seated leg curls help increase knee joint stability and reduce the risk of hamstring injuries.
