Exercise Description

The single leg valslide leg curl builds hamstring strength and stability on one leg at a time. It fixes muscle imbalances and makes your legs more balanced.

How To

1. Lie on your back with one foot on a valslide, other leg bent up in the air 2. Keep your core tight and squeeze your glutes to lift your hips off the ground 3. Slide the valslide foot away from your body while keeping your hips up high 4. Pull your heel back toward your glutes using your hamstring in the single leg valslide leg curl motion 5. Control the slide back out and repeat, then switch to work the other leg

Form Tips

• Keep your hips level - don't let one side drop during the single leg valslide leg curl • Press your heel down into the slide, not your toes • Move slow and controlled - this isn't a speed exercise • Keep your core engaged the whole time to protect your lower back

Common Mistakes

• Letting hips sag or drop to one side during the single leg valslide leg curl movement • Using your toes instead of your heel to pull the slide back • Moving too fast and losing control of the sliding motion
