Nordic ham curl

The Nordic hamstring curl targets the hamstrings by resisting the forward fall of the body.

Kneeling on a pad, have your ankles anchored by a partner or under a solid support, body straight from knees to head.

Lower slowly forward while keeping your hips extended, resist for as long as possible, then catch yourself with your hands and push back up.

Your body stays straight: do not break at the hips. This is a demanding exercise, start with few repetitions.
