Knee Curl

Knee Curl Machine

Teaching points

  • Position the roller (or pad) so that it is on the lower calf when you lay down
  • Lay face down, with the knees straight
  • Keep the pelvis down against the bench as you bend your knee
  • Once your lower leg is perpendicular (at a right angle) to the floor, stop and return to the starting position

Variations & progressions

  • Perform one leg at a time. This is especially useful following injury to prevent compensation with the stronger leg
