Seated Leg Curl

Machine Hamstrings

The Seated Leg Curl is a strength movement that targets your hamstrings. Here's how to do it with clean form.

How to do the Seated Leg Curl

  1. Adjust the machine so the pad sits just above your heels and your knees align with the pivot.
  2. Curl your heels toward your glutes in a smooth arc, fully contracting the hamstrings.
  3. Pause briefly at peak contraction, then lower the weight slowly back to the start.
  4. Keep your hips pressed into the seat throughout — don't let them lift.
