Effective Hamstring Curls for Stronger Thighs

1

Standing Hamstring Curl

Try the standing hamstring curl, a bodyweight workout that strengthens your legs and improves balance.

2

Seated Hamstring Curl

The Seated hamstring curl requires more effort from your hamstrings to pull your heels against the resistance when you have a resistance band around your lower thighs.

3

Prone Hamstring Curl

The prone hamstring curl is a great way to strengthen your lower legs and engage your hamstrings as you bend your knees while lying face down.

Hamstring Curl with  a Stability Ball

To raise your hips and legs off the ground, use a stability ball. Your hamstrings will tighten to roll the ball in the direction of your body as you bend your knees.

 Hamstring Curl with a Dumbbell

Place a dumbbell between your feet to add resistance. This extra weight makes your hamstrings work even harder as you lift your lower legs.
