Leg Curls, Seated |
Type: Legs |
|
|
|
The seated leg curl machine is the alternative to the more popular lying leg curl machine which you tend to see in most gyms. They both work the hamstring muscles intensely and also calves to a lesser degree. The body positioning is different and it really is down to personal preference or availability as to which one you decide to use.
