How to Do Hamstring Curls at Home 💡

You don’t need a machine to strengthen your hamstrings — you just need a little creativity and the right setup. Here’s how to build your own version using simple equipment:

Setup:
• Anchor a resistance band midway up a door using a door anchor.
• Back a bench up toward the door.
• Clip the band to ankle cuffs using two carabiners.
• Lie face down on the bench and perform prone hamstring curls, pulling your heels toward your glutes.

No Bench?
• Anchor the band high on the door and perform seated hamstring curls one leg at a time.

No Good Door Option?
• Wrap the band around something sturdy like a banister or basement support beam instead.

This simple setup trains the part of your hamstring most people miss — the one responsible for knee flexion and knee stability.
