The single-leg sliding leg curl is a lower body strength exercise that targets the glutes and hamstrings while also actively engaging the core. Performing one leg at a time will ensure muscular balance on both sides of the body.
Instructions
Lie on your back with your knees slightly bent. Place one foot on a sliding disc and lift the opposite leg off the ground.
Slide your foot with the disc along the floor toward your body while simultaneously raising your hips. Form a straight line from your knee to your shoulders. Pause, then carefully slide your leg to the starting position.
Trainer’s Tips
Avoid overarching your back at the top of the movement. Focus on maintaining a neutral spine throughout the exercise.
Avoid letting your weight shift onto your forefoot. Push through your heel during the exercise.
Keep your hips up throughout the entire exercise. Aim for a straight line between your shoulders and knees.
