Hamstring Curl
How
to Do Hamstring Curl
1.
Stand facing a wall. Stretch your hands forward and place your palms flat
against the wall for balance. Keep your feet about 12 inches away from
the wall.
2.
Keep your head up and your neck straight. Slowly bend one leg out behind
you at the knee, and slowly raise your heel toward your buttocks. Do one
set, then repeat with the opposite leg.
