“All right, how’s it going, everybody? I just went over the Reverse Nordic Curl. Now I’m gonna be going over just a normal Nordic Curl. Again, the reverse curls gonna be working your hip flexor and your quads, do need some core strength. The regular Nordic Curl is going to be all hamstring work here again, you do need some core strength. This is really gonna be targeting those hamstrings. I don’t need a band for the reverse curl, but I need one for the regular curl here. My hamstrings are nowhere near as strong as my hip legs, hip flexor and quads. So on this one here, I have my bands here. I’m just gonna kinda hold my hands out in front of me on this one. You gotta have something to support your ankles down your feet down. I have dumbbells and I got my feet locked up under ’em.
If you have somebody that can push and hold your feet down, that’s excellent. Or if you have something you could just put the base of your feet down in it. That way you can lower your momentum forward without going completely down. Those 2 legs gotta stay locked and back, and your feet have to stay on the ground here again. We’re just going nice, slow and controlled here again. Go ahead and get the glutes activated, core’s activated. I’m just lowering myself down nice and slow again. The band’s gonna help me at the very bottom once I get, as low as I can get down, I’m gonna squeeze slowly on those hamstrings. Coming back up, nice and controlled, pushing my feet to the ground. Again, we’re going nice and slow on the way down again. Control. Once you get to that bottom position, you’re gonna squeeze those hamstrings to pull yourself back up. Again, it’s very tough exercise to do here. So again, the key is you want to go nice, slow and control on that one. Again, if you need a band, use it. If you don’t need a band, go for it again. Try those two exercises out. You got the regular Nordic curl, it’s gonna target those hamstrings. The reverse curl is going to hit those hip flexors and quads. Try ’em out. Let me know what you think.”
