Modified Leg Curl (Prone)

STRENGTH TRAINING MACHINE DRILL, MODIFIED EXERCISE 2C: MODIFIED LEG CURL (PRONE)

This exercise (Figure 6-26) is performed in the prone position through a limited range of motion. Soldiers with low back or hip injuries may prefer to use the seated leg curl if it is available. As the Soldier’s condition improves, the range of motion may gradually increase until the exercise is performed through a full range of motion (heels to the buttocks). The resistance should not be increased until the Soldier can move through the full range of motion.
