Instructions
1. Attach a resistance band to a low, stable structure or frame. Ensure that it is secured properly.
2. Place one leg inside the loop of the band, securing it around your ankle.
3. Step forward with the other leg to create tension in the band.
4. Stand up straight and grab hold of the structure to maintain balance.
5. Flex your foot and smoothly curl the banded leg towards your buttocks as far as you can without straining.
6. Keep the movement controlled, focusing on contracting your hamstring muscles.
7. Slowly return your leg to the starting position, maintaining tension on the band throughout the movement.
8. Perform the desired number of repetitions, and then switch legs.
Remember to keep your movements smooth and controlled, and adjust the resistance of the band to match your fitness level. You can increase the challenge by using a thicker band or stepping further forward to increase the tension.
