## **Mini Band Standing Hamstring Curl — How To**

### **Setup**
– Loop a mini band around your ankles or just above them.
– Stand tall, holding a wall or rail lightly for balance.
– Soften your knees and brace your core.

### **Steps**
1. Shift your weight onto your standing leg.
2. Bend the working knee and pull your heel toward your glute against the band’s resistance.
3. Pause briefly at the top, keeping hips square and core steady.
4. Lower the foot with control and repeat for reps.
5. Switch legs.

### **Key Cues**
– “Keep hips level.”
– “Slow curl, slow return.”
– “Feel the hamstring—not the low back.”

### **Purpose**
– Activates hamstrings for LLT prep, gait work, and posterior‑chain stability.
