Resistance band
How to do it
- Anchor a band low behind you and loop it around one ankle, then lie face down.
- Move forward until the band is taut with your leg straight.
- Bend your knee to pull your heel toward your glutes against the band.
- Lower slowly back to straight, finish the set and switch legs.
Coaching cues
- Keep your hips pressed to the floor rather than letting them lift as you curl.
- Slow the lowering to about three seconds for extra work.
