Single Lying Leg Curl

Starting Position

1. Position your body in the center of the machine and lie down so that your knees touch the edge of the pad.

2. Adjust the ankle pad to rest above the Achilles tendon.

3. Pull your feet towards your body so that your ankles are at a 90-degree angle.

4. Grab the handles and press your body against the machine.

Proper Form

1. Engage your thighs and glutes, and raise the ankle pads up to your hips.

2. Lower yourself only until your knees are fully extended against the weight resistance.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when you raise your legs, and inhale when you lower them.
