The resistance band leg curl is an effective exercise for strengthening the hamstrings. It enhances lower body strength and can improve mobility and flexibility around the knee joint by allowing for controlled resistance throughout the movement.
How to do it
- Anchor a resistance band around a sturdy object and secure it around your ankle.
- Stand facing forward, keeping your back straight and core engaged.
- Slowly bend your knee, bringing your heel towards your glutes against the band’s resistance.
- Pause briefly at the top of the movement, then slowly return to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
