Step Box Leg Curl gif

Coach's Tips

This leg curl variation uses your body weight to target your hamstrings.

1. Stand in front of the step box and place one foot on the step.

2. Keep your upper body straight and place both hands on your waist or in front of your chest to maintain balance.

3. Slightly shift your weight onto the leg that is on the step.

1. Pull the heel of the leg on the floor towards your hip and bend your knee.

2. Feel the hamstring contraction and pause briefly at the peak.

3. Slowly lower your foot back to the starting position.

4. Repeat on the opposite side after the designated number of repetitions.

Exhale when you pull your heels back, and inhale when you lower your legs.

1. Engage your core to prevent your upper body from leaning forward.

2. Adjust the range to prevent your knees from bending excessively backward.

3. If you feel discomfort around your knees, substitute with a lower step or another exercise.
