Technique

How to perform Suspension Trainer Hamstring Curl

  1. Lie on your back with both heels supported in the suspension cradles and the knees slightly bent.
  2. Press through the heels and lift the hips so the pelvis is supported above the floor.
  3. Bend both knees to draw the heels toward you while keeping the hips extended and pelvis level.
  4. Extend the knees under control without letting the hips drop or substituting a lower-back arch.
  5. Continue within the knee range that allows you to maintain the raised-hip position, then lower the hips to finish.
