"So for our next leg exercise here we're going to be doing another isolation exercise. We're going to be targeting the hamstrings now, so we're going from quads to hamstrings. Here I'm going to be showing you the lying leg curl. And with this one, I'm just going to, this one you have to load your own weight on. I'm just going to lie forward here and you're just going to be squeezing right up with the hamstring, get that nice stretch in the hammies and squeeze right up. This is definitely a good one to do, again I would work in the eight to twelve repetition range with this one. This is only one leg at a time, some of them use two legs at a time for the lying leg curl. You can also switch it up, there are seated variations you can do. Those are really good as well. You can really feel a burn when you use these. So again I would choose one of these either the lying leg curl or the seated and pump out about eight to twelve repetitions, do about two to three sets of that."
