Leg curls with the Theraband
Training the hamstrings with the Theraband is widely popular and can be conveniently done at home. Here are some tips to effectively engage the various hamstring muscles.
Body position
Stand upright, keeping your back straight and your gaze forward. Loop the Theraband around one leg, pressing it lightly just above the ankle against the lower calf. The other foot rests on the end of the Theraband. Keep your arms relaxed by your side. Maintain this position throughout the entire exercise.
Movement execution
Initiate the Leg Curls with the Theraband by bending one leg backward. Execute this movement until the lower leg is approximately parallel to the ground, exhaling as you do so. Subsequently, lower the leg back to the ground before starting the next repetition. Inhale deeply as you lower the leg. After completing one side, switch to the other leg.
