What is the recommended height for using a leg curl machine at the gym?

Question

I think I might be too short because everything seems to be for 5'4 and above but the trainers swear its fine....even thought it hurts my ankles.

Answer 1

the leg curl machine can be use with any height. But you have to adjust the seat properly so you will do the exercise correctly. The reason you ankle are hurting might be you do you get used of the machine.

Answer 2

Im not sure how it hurts your ankles, but as long as your knees go over the bench its fine. Although, your trainer should be looking into your ankle pain. You probley just need a very good stretching routine, and a different exercise for your hamstrings.
