What I'll be performing here is the Lying Leg Curl. This exercise is a good exercise to develop your hamstrings as well as your gluts. What you wan to do is put your feet under the pad, you want to curl up the weights, flex your hamstrings as well as tighten up the gluts. Slowly bring it down. Don't bring it all the way down, you don't want to rest your hamstrings, you want to still keep tension on your hamstrings. So bring up the weight, slowly bring down the weight. And you want to continue this motion for about, eight to about ten reps. If you're doing heavy weight, if you're trying to cut up the hamstrings then you do about fifteen to twenty reps and about three to four sets. Really focus on tightening up the hamstrings and the gluts. And that's how you do Lying Hamstring Curls.
