Nordic Hamstring Curl
- Kneel on a padded surface, with your body upright and legs bent at a 90-degree angle at the knees.
- Secure your lower legs or ankles under a sturdy object, or have a partner hold them down.
- Cross your arms over your chest or place your hands on your thighs.
- Engage your core and glutes to keep your body straight from your knees to your head.
- Slowly lower your upper body towards the ground by extending your knees, keeping your torso straight.
- Descend as far as you can control, ideally until your body is nearly parallel to the floor.
- Use your hamstrings to pull your body back up to the starting position.
