Leg curls standing on the cable tower

To perform the leg curl standing at the cable tower, position yourself upright. Attach the foot loop to one foot. Keep the body upright, and the gaze forward. Gently extend the leg with the foot loop forward, ensuring it is almost fully stretched. Stretch out both hands in front of your body to potentially find support on the cable pull or a wall. This can increase stability during execution. Alternatively, you can leave the arms relaxed by your side. The key is to avoid swinging support. Maintain this position unchanged throughout the entire execution. The body remains rigid.

Movement execution

Now, initiate the movement by bending the leg with the foot loop backward. The movement occurs at a moderate pace until the lower leg is approximately parallel to the ground. Exhale during this movement. Subsequently, relax slightly and bring the leg forward again. Inhale during this movement and keep tension in the leg. The thigh remains in the same position throughout the entire movement. After the desired number of repetitions, switch to the other side.
