Technique

How to perform Reverse Nordic Curl Negative

1. Kneel with your knees about hip-width apart and the tops of your feet on the floor; a mat is optional.
2. Hold your arms across your chest or by your sides and keep your hips extended.
3. Maintain a straight line from your knees through your torso as you lean backward by bending your knees.
4. Use your quadriceps to control the descent and stop before you lose that alignment.
5. Bend at your hips and sit back toward your heels to release the straight-body lever.
6. Reset to tall kneeling before the next descent instead of pulling yourself upright with straight hips.
