Nordic Curl

Nordic Curl gif
Targets: hamstring

About

This is a high-intensity exercise that really works your hamstrings.

How to Nordic Curl

Starting Position

1. Place a mat or pad under your knees and rest your knees on it.

2. Secure your ankles in the device or have your partner hold them.

3. Keep your upper body straight and align your hips, knees, and shoulders in a straight line.

Proper Form

1. Please slowly lean your body forward while keeping your torso straight.

2. Hold with your hamstring strength, and when it becomes too difficult to hold, support yourself by placing your hands on the floor.

3. Gently push with your hands for assistance and use your hamstring strength to return to the starting position.

4. Please repeat while gradually increasing the range.

Breathing Technique

Inhale when lowering your body, and exhale when coming up.

Precautions

1. Don't try to go all the way down from the beginning.

2. If you have knee pain, please stop immediately.

3. Focus on the feeling of 'holding' instead of bouncing.
