Ladies Over 35…Listen Up…Here are my top Leg Curl Machine Do’s, Don’ts & Midlife Musts 🍑
Trying to grow strong hamstrings (and not just survive the gym)? Then save this one.👇
✅ DO line up your knee joint with the machine’s axis
✅ DO adjust the thigh pad so you’re locked in, not flailing
✅ DO choose a weight that challenges, not crushes (or results in a hernia)
❌ DON’T rest the ankle pad up on your calf (unless you like wasted reps and awkward cramps)
❌ DON’T swing the weight with momentum — your hamstrings want tension, not theatrics
❌ DON’T work harder getting in/out of the machine than during the actual set (we see you 🤣)

💪 Or better yet, become a founding member of the Muscle Over Menopause Club to learn about all the machines AND free weights to GET STRONG in Peri/Menopause…link’s in bio.
Let’s lift heavy, safely, and hormonally aware.
