#hamstrings #hamstringexercise Here are 3 of my favorite hamstring curl exercises that you can do at home with bands!
The hamstrings are often an undertrained and neglected muscle group, but they are so important when it comes to building balanced functional strength. Whether you are looking to improve your big lifts like squats and deadlifts, training for athletic performance, or just looking to move better and be able to perform day to day functional tasks like lifting things off the floor, the hamstrings are a crucial muscle group.
The general rule of thumb is that your hamstrings should be equally as strong as your quads (or thighs) to ensure proper muscle balance and minimize the risk of injuries, but that is typically not the case for most people. Hamstrings tend to be a lot weaker than the quads, because most people do not train them!
Let's fix that by adding in some hamstring curl exercises to your routine!
The hamstrings are responsible for two main movements. Knee flexion, which is bending your knee from a straight leg position to the fully bent position, and hip extension, which is thrusting your hips forward.
There are three main muscle groups in the hamstrings, and it's only possible to train all 3 of them by doing an exercise with knee flexion or knee flexion & hip extension together. Hip extension alone will only train 2 of the muscle groups effectively, and not all 3.
This video discusses 3 different leg curl variations which are knee flexion exercises.
