The standing leg curl is an effective exercise primarily targeting the hamstring muscles at the back of the thigh. This exercise can be performed using a leg curl machine with a pulley system or resistance bands attached to a stationary object. The movement involves standing upright and curling one leg at a time by bending the knee, bringing the heel towards the glutes while maintaining an engaged core and stable posture.
The Leg Curl Standing is a strength-training exercise focused on the hamstring muscles at the back of the thigh, promoting both strength and flexibility. This variation also targets the core and challenges balance, offering benefits beyond seated or lying leg curls. Using a cable machine, resistance band, or leg curl equipment, the exercise supports muscle coordination and knee stability, enhancing performance in activities like running and jumping. To perform it, secure a band or strap around the ankle of your working leg, maintain balance using a sturdy surface, and flex your knee to lift your heel toward your buttocks.
