Answer: hamstrings

Explanation: Leg curls primarily work the back of the thighs, which are the hamstrings.

"expert verified answer" incorrectly called the calf muscles "hamstrings." The calf muscles are the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles.

Leg curls are focused on the muscles of the lower leg or hamstrings. Hamstrings are the largest calf muscles which should be exercised and trained frequently. Leg curls can be performed by a lying position. Leg curls should be done properly because, sometimes leg curls can cause back pains and lower back pain.
