Foundation Seated Leg Curl

Adjust the machine: Set the backrest so your knees align with the machine's pivot point. Adjust the leg pad so it rests just above your Achilles tendons.

Get in position: Sit down and lower the thigh pad firmly but comfortably onto your thighs to lock your legs in place.

Curl: Pull the pad down in a controlled and smooth motion by flexing your knees. Squeeze your hamstrings at the bottom of the movement.

Return slowly: Slowly and controllably return the weight to the starting position, resisting the weight on the way up. Do not let the weight stack slam.
