The Hamstring Curl is an exercise that targets the muscles at the back of your thigh, known as the hamstrings. This movement helps strengthen these muscles, which are essential for activities like running, jumping, and even walking. You can perform hamstring curls using a machine, resistance bands, or simply by lying on your stomach and bending your knees. To do a basic hamstring curl, start by standing or lying down, then bend your knees to bring your heels toward your glutes. Hold for a moment before lowering your feet back down. This exercise not only builds strength but also improves flexibility and stability in your legs.
