The Leg Curl

The leg curl is performed while lying face down on a leg curling bench by raising a weight with the feet towards the buttocks. This is an isolation exercise for the hamstrings.

This type of exercise requires the use of a specific piece of apparatus. It is very difficult to perform a leg curl using free weights at home.
