Hamstring Curl with Resistance Bands (Standing)

Targets the hamstrings.

Loop the middle of the band around your lower left leg above your ankle. Step on the ends of the band below the handles with your right foot, the left side of your body facing and standing near a door and holding the doorknob or standing near an object that has something that you can hold for support. The toes of your left leg make contact with the ground, your left leg slightly bent so that your left lower leg is slightly bending behind you and your left knee is stationary beside your right knee. The distance of the band between your left lower leg and right foot is long enough that your left lower leg can resist the pull of the band, but not too short that your left lower leg can’t pull against the band and not too long that your left lower leg doesn’t feel a resistance with the band. Flex your left knee by curling your left lower leg, your left foot moving towards your glutes. Don’t move your left upper leg during the movement. Return to the starting position.
