Leg Curl

Leg Curls work the back of the legs and butt. You'll need a smooth surface like a slideboard, valslides, or just stocking feet on hardwood floor. Most beginners should just do the eccentric phase of this exercise, as is demonstrated in the video. These can be done in a TRX, but I do not like the instability of a TRX. Stick to the floor.

Coach Stevo's Top Tips

  • Bridge and lock down your core.
  • Engage the glutes hard. 
  • Lower your butt down while your legs extend in a smooth motion.
