Resistance Band Hamstring Curl

The resistance band hamstring curl isolates the hamstrings with a simple setup that works anywhere. Anchor the band low, loop it around your ankle, and curl your heel toward your glute while standing.

How to Perform

1

Anchor the band at a low point and loop it around one ankle.

2

Stand facing the anchor point, holding onto something for balance.

3

Curl your heel toward your glute by bending the knee against the band.

4

Squeeze the hamstring at the top and lower with control.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Swinging the entire leg instead of isolating the knee flexion.

Leaning too far forward, which changes the resistance angle.

Not anchoring the band low enough, reducing the effective resistance.
