How To Do A Bodyweight Single Leg Curl Correctly
The bodyweight single leg curl is a unique bodyweight hamstring exercise to do when you have no access to equipment.
When done with intention, you can target the hamstrings, glutes, and lower back, as well as giving a good hip flexor stretch.
To get started:
- Lean forward maintaining a flat back, while placing your forearms with your elbows pointing out and your forehead on top of waist high step, box, or chair.
- Raise and extend one leg behind you so it creates a straight line from your heel to your head, while slightly bending the knee of the opposite leg.
- Keeping your leg extended behind you, bend the knee of the raised leg so that your heel curls towards your butt.
- Feel the contraction in your hamstrings and your glutes, then under control, extend your leg back to the starting position.
- Repeat all the reps with one leg, then switch legs and repeat.
