“All right, how’s it going everybody? Today I’m going to go over an exercise that you can do to strengthen your quads without weight. So, you know, the traditional way to get quad, hip flexors, get your legs stronger. You can do some step ups, you can do some squats, split squats, lunges, all that stuff. Again, sled work. Those are again, all with weights. Here on this one is just an unconventional exercise that you can do without any weight. Just your body weight here. It’s gonna take a lot of quad hip flexor and core strength here. I have a band here for assistance. If you need it, all you’re gonna do here is tilt your pelvis. Lock your glues as hard as you can crunch your core. Now stay nice and tight, and this is called a Reverse Nordic Curl. So you can do this with hamstrings as well as quads.
So here, I’m gonna try to stay nice and upright. All you’re gonna do is go nice, slow and controlled. Coming back, getting core, staying engaged. My hip flexors, my quads are tight as hard as they can, glutes are engaged as low as you can get down. See if you can get your butt to touch the heels and then slow and control coming back up. It’s gonna take a lot of quad, hip flexors strength as well as core, and band here to help you. If you need it, as you get lower, the band’s gonna stretch out. It’s gonna give you assistance to come back up. So maybe if you need a band for pull ups or pushups, just kind of the same benefit as it. So it’s nice, slow and controlled on the way down. Once you get to that hardest position, which is the very bottom, the band is fully stretched out. It’ll kind of help you on the way back up again. This is just an unconventional quad, hip flexor exercise that you can do to strengthen those legs.”
