How to Do
How to Do Banded Hamstring Curls
The banded hamstring curls should begin with good posture to avoid injury. Brace the spine by drawing your lower abdomen inward. Your core muscles should be activated to support your posture as you perform the exercise.
If any pain is experienced, immediately stop the banded hamstring curls.

Your back thigh muscles work to lift your lower leg during a hamstring curl. This movement strengthens your hamstrings and glutes by engaging them. Strong hamstrings make you less prone to injury and pain.
