The thigh curl, commonly performed using a leg curl machine, targets the hamstring muscles. To execute the exercise, sit on the machine with your back against the support, placing your legs straight in front of you. Adjust the pad so it rests just above your ankles, then curl your legs backward towards your glutes while keeping your upper body steady. Slowly return to the starting position and repeat for the desired number of reps.

The antagonist muscle used in a leg curl is the quadriceps, located at the front of the thigh. During a leg curl, the hamstrings contract to flex the knee, while the quadriceps must relax and lengthen to allow this movement. This reciprocal inhibition helps facilitate smooth and controlled leg movements.
