This morning Kerry was not feeling very challenged with the standard variations on the slider leg curl so, we spruced it up by adding some rubber bands! The leg curl is a amazing exercise to directly target the hamstrings and is ESSENTIAL if you're a runner (unless you like running in pain!), but, also great for building a superior posterior! We like to use it as an accessory movement after deadlifts or even as a warm up to deadlift work. The key is to keep the hips as high as possible and the abs and glutes fully engaged while you extend the leg. Bring the leg back in under control. Don't rush this exercise! If you're not in the habit of doing direct posterior work start without the bands and build it up until it feels pretty easy. Once it feels easy, you'll need to add some resistance to continue to see results. #weheavy #thriveathletics #flagtafffitness #flagstaffpersonaltraining #flagstaffpersonaltrainer #liveastrongerlife #ironeaters #superbooty (at Thrive Athletics)
