How to do it

The seated leg curl exercise is another option to the lying leg curls workout to help build the hamstrings.

Steps :

1.) Start by adjusting the machine so that the footpad is above your heels, then sit upright with your abs tightly drawn in and your legs positioned in front of you.

2.) Slowly curl your legs back towards your buttock and hold for a 1-2 count.

3.) Return back to the starting position and repeat for as many reps and sets as desired.

Tips :

1.) Do not use momentum and resist swinging the weight or moving too quickly though the exercise.
