The thigh curl, often performed on a machine or with resistance bands, involves bending the knees to bring the heels toward the glutes while keeping the upper body stable. This exercise primarily targets the hamstring muscles located at the back of the thigh, helping to strengthen and tone them. It can also engage the calves and glutes to some extent, depending on the variation used. Proper form is essential to avoid injury and maximize effectiveness.
