LEGS
Standing Leg Curl
Stand facing the machine. Adjust the seat so that the connected roller
pads are above your knee. Grab the seat back, or the press arm for
stability. Position your ankles behind the lower set of roller pads. Us-
ing one leg at a time, bend your knee backward and upward as far as
possible. Return slowly.
Variations: If you point your toe, the calf muscle is less involved. If
you bend your ankle while bending your knee, the calf muscle is more
involved.
Primary muscles worked: Hamstrings (back of upper legs), Gastrocne-
mius (rear of calf).
