What is Standing Leg Curl? Standing leg curl is a lower body exercise that targets the hamstrings. This exercise helps strengthen and tone the back of the thighs while also engaging the core for stability.

Stand up straight with your feet hip-width apart.
Shift your weight onto your right leg and lift your left foot off the ground.
Bend your left knee and bring your heel towards your glutes, contracting your hamstring.
Hold the position for a moment, then slowly lower your foot back down.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions on each leg.

Arching your back: Keep your back straight and core engaged throughout the exercise. - Lifting too high: Only lift your foot towards your glutes as far as you can while maintaining proper form.

Focus on the mind-muscle connection to engage the hamstrings effectively. - Keep your standing leg slightly bent to maintain balance and stability.
Control the movement both on the way up and down to maximize muscle activation.
