In this clip, we're going to be doing leg curls with the exercuffs. Now this is just going to be a twist on traditional leg curls exercise. Keep your body in an upright position, shoulders back, head up, back nice and straight. Now, your feet are going to be a little, a little further than shoulder width apart. What you are going to do is you're going to squeeze your heel up towards your glut and then extend slowly back down. Now if that's too, that's too easy for you, you take your leg a little further back and extend the lever, squeeze up and hold and then relax down. So if you don't have any large equipment at home, this is a perfect piece of equipment to use. Helps strengthen up those gluts and those calves and those hammies. Okay, squeeze up and release. Okay, squeeze, hold for two or three seconds and release. Squeeze, release, squeeze, and release.
