4. Slowly return your leg to the starting position with control. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, then switch legs.

Form tips

• Keep your back straight and avoid arching or rounding your spine.
• Focus on engaging your hamstrings throughout the movement.
• Exhale as you curl your leg up and inhale as you lower it back down.
