I never thought of doing it backwards. I'm going to try that tonight.

This worked perfectly for me. I went from 35% to 95%. Thanks!

Might try backwards, your shape really hates my leg curls, lol.

I found, and this only works about half the time, but when she tells you to take a wider stance, bring your feet a little closer together. Once it registers your curls, you can slowly shift back to a more natural stance. I managed a 90% tonight for the first time trying that.

The advice YourShape gives in general is often very bad - not just with Leg Curls. For example, in any type of Lunge exercise, when the trainer says to get lower with your lunges what she really means is to make sure your non-lunging leg is as straight as possible. In other words, the camera doesn't seem to focus on your lunge as much as how straight your non-lunging leg is.
Anyway, I mention that because I've found with the Leg Curls that the camera seems to watch your body more than your legs. It's difficult to describe, but if you do a kind of bobbing action between each curl then it doesn't matter how bad your curl actually is. I used to get rubbish scores on this, but with the right bobbing action I get 100% every time.
It involves bending your knees slightly as you drop the curl and straightening your support leg as you lift your other leg for the curl. Doing this alternately causes your body to dip up and down slightly and I've found that this gives me the 100%. If you watch the trainer carefully you will see what I mean about the bobbing - he/she does this subtle action each time.

You are so right about the 'bobbimg', euler_13. If you 'sway' in the oppisite direction to the leg you're curling, you get credit. Trainer never mentions it, but once you notice the trainer does it and mimic it, it works fine.

I struggle with the leg curl I either get a good score or barely any score. Your shape hates leg curls.
