Hamstring Curl strengthens your hamstrings and at the same time promotes stabilization of your hips and back.
This
exercise allows you to strengthen the back fascia of your thighs. But not only
that: at the same time, control of the hips and back is improved - both body
parts that are fundamental to our daily locomotion. Your lower body, as you
know, is the basis of your movement; For this reason, this part of your body
should be strengthened not only through muscle training, but also through
improved coordination.
The
need to strengthen our posterior muscles is even more important these days
because we spend most of our day sitting down. The muscular imbalances caused
by sitting down reduce muscle mass, strength and elasticity. In addition,
constant sitting leads to increased tension in the lower back.

By
adding a hanging element to the hamstring curl exercise, you intensify the
stabilization of the knees, hips and back and promote coordination between the
various muscles for better movement.

Bend your knees again and bring the bar back towards you by pressing your feet
firmly onto the bar.
The
need to reinforce our posterior muscular tissues is even extra crucial these
days because we spend most of our day sitting down. The muscular imbalances
resulting from sitting down reduce muscle mass, electricity and elasticity. In
addition, constant sitting leads to increased anxiety within the lower again.
WHY

Strengthens the thigh muscles and helps stabilizeing the hips.
