leg curls
Posterior thigh workout
Leg curls are a weight training exercise that targets the hamstrings.
Lying face-down on a machine, you bend your knees to pull a padded lever toward your buttocks, then lower it with control.
The movement isolates the muscles at the back of the thigh: I do leg curls twice a week to balance out my quad work.
