hamstringThe glutes are also activated during leg curlsThe muscle being used in leg curls is the hamstrings.Hamstring
I like to do hamstring curls to work the lower part of my hamstrings which dead lifts don't really touch. But my gym is gay and only has those seated hamstring curl machines where you actually SIT on your hamstrings, the most stupid thing i have ever seen, yes sit on the muscle you are trying to work. Anyway I can do improvised curls on the leg extension machine, if I face the seat.
Leg curls may be integrated into a workout in many ways. One way is to do leg curls as a part of a more extensive lower body workout. Another way to integrate leg curls is to alternate them with upper body reps such as tricep pulls.
Most muscles in the body have "counterparts", one pulls and your leg curls up, the other pulls and the leg straightens. They would be on opposite sides of your leg. The "biceps" are the upper arm top muscle, and the tri-ceps (I think) is the upper arm bottom muscle. They work in conjunction to let you 'curl a barbell'' or do a chin-up.
The agonist muscle used in a side leg raise is the adductor.
