How to do it

Pause for one second at the top of each curl before lowering.

  1. 1

    Secure your ankles with the cable attachment while facing the machine.

  2. 2

    Bend your knees and curl your legs up towards your glutes.

  3. 3

    Slowly return to the starting position with controlled movement.

  4. 4

    Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Expert tip

Focus on using your hamstrings to perform the curl rather than relying on the cable machine to do the work for you.
