Staying Strong and Healthy Hamstring Curls
In this video in the Staying Strong and Healthy video series, Dreu White, exercise physiologist at KU Medical Center, teaches proper form for hamstring curls. This video is part of the Staying Strong and Healthy Prostate Cancer intervention.
1. Anchor Point: Secure one end of the resistance band to a low anchor point or use a door anchor and loop the other end around one ankle.
2. Stability: Hold onto a support for balance if needed and stand tall with your core engaged throughout the movement.
3. Flexion Motion: Bend the knee of the working leg and bring your heel towards your glutes in a controlled manner, focusing on engaging your hamstring muscles.
4. Modifications: If you have limited balance or stability, perform the exercise in a seated position with back support. Using a lighter resistance band or reducing the range of motion can also help you gradually build strength in your hamstrings.
