Lying Hamstring Curl (Dumbbell)

Also known as: Lying Hamstring Curl (Dumbbell).

Prone knee curl with a single dumbbell secured between both feet.

How to perform this exercise

1. Lie face down with forearms on the floor. Secure one light dumbbell firmly between both feet, keeping hips and thighs supported.
2. Start with knees slightly bent so the dumbbell clears the floor. Curl the knees slowly until the lower legs are roughly upright.
3. Lower under control while keeping the feet together, without striking the floor. Use only a load you can hold securely.
