Seated Leg Curl
A seated leg curl is a machine-based resistance exercise targeting the hamstring muscles.
Instructions
- Adjust the pad so it rests comfortably above your heels.
- Sit with your back against the pad and grab the handles.
- Slowly lower the weight by bending your knees.
- Pause briefly at the bottom, then return to the starting position.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using too much weight, leading to poor form.
- Not adjusting the pad correctly, which can strain the knees.
- Bouncing the weight instead of moving in a controlled manner.
