50% Nordic Curl

Technique

How to perform 50% Nordic Curl

1. Adjust the glute-ham developer so your knees rest on the pads and your ankles are secured under the foot rollers.
2. Start upright with your hips straight, arms crossed over your chest, and core engaged.
3. Keep your hips locked in the extended position as you inhale and slowly extend your knees, lowering your torso toward the floor in a controlled motion.
4. Continue descending until your torso is at a 45 degree angle.
5. Exhale as you contract your hamstrings to flex your knees, pulling your torso back to the upright starting position while keeping your hips fixed.
6. Repeat for the prescribed repetitions.
