The Lever Seated Leg Curl exercise is a strength training exercise that targets the hamstring muscles. It is usually performed using a leg curl machine with a lever system.
How to perform
Step-by-step instructions for performing the Lever Seated Leg Curl exercise:1. Adjust the leg curl machine to fit your body. Make sure the lever pad rests comfortably on the back of your ankles.
2. Sit on the machine with your back flat against the backrest and grasp the handles on the sides for stability.
3. Place your lower legs under the lever pad, with your knees aligned with the pivot point of the machine.
4. Exhale and contract your hamstrings to curl the lever pad towards your glutes. Keep your upper legs stationary and avoid arching your lower back.
5. Hold the fully contracted position for a brief moment, squeezing your hamstrings.
6. Inhale and slowly lower the lever pad back to the starting position, maintaining control throughout the movement.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
8. Remember to breathe consistently and maintain proper form throughout the exercise.
9. To increase the intensity, you can adjust the weight on the machine or perform the exercise at a slower pace.
10. As with any strength training exercise, listen to your body and stop if you experience any pain or discomfort. Consult a fitness professional if you are unsure about your form or technique.
