Bodyweight Lying Legs Curl

Expert Advice

Keep your hips firmly on the ground throughout the movement to prevent lower back strain and to ensure maximum engagement of the hamstrings.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Lie face down on the floor with your legs straight.
  2. Flex your knees and curl your heels towards your glutes as far as possible.
  3. Hold the contraction at the top for a moment.
  4. Slowly lower your feet back to the starting position while maintaining tension in the hamstrings.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
