    How to Improve Your Trunk and Pelvis Stabilisation With Hamstring Curl

    17th September 2018
    Hamstring curl - Leg Curl - EVO Fitness

    By performing this exercise, you’ll reinforce the posterior fascial compartment of the thighs. Not only that, but you’ll also get better control of your pelvis and back, a fundamental structure to our daily locomotion. Your lower body, as you know, is the basis of your movement; this way, this area of your body should be reinforced not only with muscular work but also with increasing coordination.

    The necessity to reinforce your posterior muscles, today, is becoming even more important because we spend most of our day seated. The seated position created muscular imbalances reduces your muscles and their strength and elasticity. It also increases the tension in your lower back.

    By adding suspension to this exercise, you’ll increase the knees, hip and back stabilisation and also better muscular coordination, for a better movement.

     

    WHAT

    • Hamstring Curl is a functional exercise focused on the four pillars of movement.
    • It reinforces the muscles of the posterior thigh.
    • Promotes stabilisation of knee, pelvis and spine joints.
    • Activates the core.

     

    HOW

    • Hang the bar in the penultimate level above the floor. Lie on the floor. The bar should be slightly below your knee.
    • Place your feet over the bar at hip distance.
    • Your hips should be lifted and your weight should be concentrated on your scapulas.
    • Activate your glutes and abs muscles in order to maintain balance. Stretching your arms to help you guarantee that.
    • Push your legs forward, almost fully stretching your knees.
    • Push the bar back to you again.

     

    WHY

    • Reinforces the muscles of your thigh and helps in stabilising the hips.
    • Synchronizes thighs and hips, promoting better movement.
    • Improves posture.
