How to: Resistance Band Seated Single Leg Curl
- Sit on the floor with legs extended in front of you.
- Anchor one end of the resistance band to a stable object and loop the other end around your ankle.
- Bend the knee and curl your leg towards your body, keeping your foot flexed.
- Lower your leg back to the starting position in a controlled manner.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, then switch legs.
Common Mistakes
- Letting the knee move sideways instead of tracking straight.
