Seated Resistance Band Leg Curls / Flexions
- Seat yourself comfortably on a solid chair, with your back straight and unsupported. Keep your feet planted about hip-width apart.
- Wrap the top loop of the band around your working ankle and anchor the other end of the band to a bracket.
- Allow the band to lightly pull your working leg away from you.
- Gently grip the chair seat under or next to your thighs if this feels more comfortable
- When ready, exhale and pull your working leg toward you by bending at the knee
- You should feel tension in your hamstring as you curl your leg against the resistance
- Once your leg reaches a 90-degree bend, briefly pause before inhaling and allowing the resistance to gently pull your leg back to the starting position
