Resistance Band Leg Curl
The resistance band leg curl is a prone hamstring curl you can do anywhere by anchoring a band to a low point and looping it around your ankle. It isolates the hamstrings through knee flexion with accommodating resistance that peaks at full contraction.
How to Perform
Anchor the band to a low sturdy point and loop it around one or both ankles.
Lie face down with your legs extended and the band taut.
Curl your heels toward your glutes, squeezing the hamstrings hard at the top.
Lower your legs slowly back to the start — fight the band on the way down.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Using a band that is too light, failing to create enough resistance at peak contraction.
Lifting the hips off the floor to cheat the curl, reducing hamstring isolation.
Letting the legs snap back quickly instead of controlling the eccentric.
