Tips on How to Perform a Leg Curl

All right, today in this section, we are going to focus on our hamstring muscles and our hamstring muscles are the muscles right behind our leg, right back there and just like our other hamstring exercise, this is our leg curl but this is out seated leg curl. This leg curl need a little bit more adjustments so there one adjustment in the back of the seat here that allows the pad to slide forward or backward and what we want to do is to make sure that when we seat down in our leg curl machine, is that our knee is lined up with our pivot point. That is our range of motion, that is where our joint is going to be and that where our axis is. Next thing we are going to do is to bring our legs right on top of this pad here and there is another adjustment that it can allow this pad to go further back or further forward. What we want to make sure that this pad is right underneath our Achilles tendon. We place both legs on top of the leg curl pad and all we are going to do is pull this knob here because this is one more adjustment. We are going o pull this knob here and make sure that this pad rests comfortably right along our quadriceps. After we take our weight, make sure our abdominal muscles are in tight and from our core muscles we draw our core muscles in and we just breathe out and push straight down. This machine is great whether it is on the build muscle or the tone up. [Demonstration]
