TRX Hamstring Curl

How to do it

  1. Lie on your back with your heels settled into the suspension trainer's foot cradles and your legs extended straight toward the anchor point.
  2. Press your hips upward off the floor so your body forms a straight line from shoulders to heels.
  3. Brace your core to hold that bridged position, then bend your knees to curl your heels in toward your glutes.
  4. Keep your hips lifted and level throughout the curl, avoiding any sag toward the floor.
  5. Extend your legs back out to straight under control, exhaling as you curl in and inhaling as you extend.
  6. Keep your shoulders and head relaxed on the floor while your hamstrings and glutes hold the bridge.
