How to Do Standing Supported Resistance Band Hamstring Curls
- Wrap the top loop of the band around your working ankle and anchor the other end of the band on the ground with your non-working foot.
- Stand tall and straight, with your feet planted about hip-width apart, and your hands on the back of a stable chair or another secure form of support.
- When ready, exhale and lift your foot behind you by bending at the knee, ensuring that there is no additional movement above the knee.
- Bring your heel up towards your glute while keeping it in the same vertical line as your upper leg.
- Once your leg reaches a 90-degree bend, briefly pause before lowering your foot down to the floor.
