Cable Standing Leg Curl

Expert Advice

Ensure that you fully contract your hamstrings at the top of the movement and control the weight as you return to the starting position.

Attach an ankle strap to a low pulley cable and secure it around your ankle.
Stand facing the cable machine, holding onto it for balance.
Curl your leg up towards your buttocks, keeping your thighs aligned and your hips stationary.
Slowly lower your foot back to the starting position, maintaining tension in the hamstrings.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching legs.
