Instructions
Adjust the leg pad on the machine so that the pad touches your calf just above the ankle.
Pull the leg pad back to your thighs in a controlled motion.
Hold for one second and then return to starting position without setting down the weight or relaxing the muscle. Stay in control of the motion at all times.
Breathe with the motion - breathing out as you bring your feet back, in as you return to the starting motion.Tip
Do not move your hips while doing this exercise. By moving your hips, you are working muscles in addition to your hamstrings, which will lessen the impact of the exercise. Focus on returning to the start position at a slower rate of motion, and make sure you maintain control of the weight at all times.
DISCLAIMER: Your doctor is often in the best position to evaluate whether any particular diet or exercise program is best for you. Advance consultation with your doctor is particularly important if you are under eighteen (18) years old, pregnant, nursing, or have health problems.
