TRX Single Leg Hamstring Curl

How to do it

  1. Lie on your back with one heel settled into a single foot cradle of a suspension trainer and the other leg held straight up toward the ceiling.
  2. Press your hips upward off the floor so your body forms a straight line through the working leg from shoulder to heel.
  3. Brace your core to keep your hips square, then bend the working knee to curl the heel in toward your glutes.
  4. Keep your raised leg still and your hips level throughout, resisting any rotation to one side.
  5. Extend the working leg back out to straight under control, exhaling as you curl in and inhaling as you extend.
  6. Complete the set on one side while keeping the bridge steady, then switch legs and repeat.
