Adjust the machine lever to fit your height and lie with your torso bent at the waist facing forward around 30-45 degrees (since an angled position is more favorable for hamstrings recruitment) with the pad of the lever on the back of your right leg (just a few inches under the calves) and the front of the right leg on top of the machine pad.
Keeping the torso bent forward, ensure your leg is fully stretched and grab the side handles of the machine. Position your toes straight. This will be your starting position.
As you exhale, curl your right leg up as far as possible without lifting the upper leg from the pad. Once you hit the fully contracted position, hold it for a second.
As you inhale, bring the legs back to the initial position. Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

Oh man if you want power and speed out of your hamies, get on this. I do 4 sets 12-15 reps and wow do they work, incorporate this with your other hamstring exercises and you won't be sorry. You can squeeze in this movement better than any other exercise I think. Great for your butt to ladies.

I had to play with different weights and rep ranges on this one before I felt comfortable with it. You have to force yourself more so than on other exercises to keep good form, but now that I'm used to it, I like it better than sitting or laying down.
