A place to talk about fitness and health on Farcaster.

Fitcasters, happy Saturday!

Here is the movement of the day-
Movement: Nordic Curls 
Level of difficulty: Depends on variations + tempo 

Benefits:
-Strengthens hamstrings (primary) + overall posterior chain.
-Improves core and body control.

Recommendation of sets/reps: 
*2-3 sets 
*3-6x reps per set

-Goal is to stay as strict (no hinge of the hips) as possible on the downward movement (engaging core/glutes/quads). When going down (eccentric phase), make sure it’s at a comfortable pace until hamstrings/body is exhausted then explode back up using your arms or you can reset hips and crawl back to starting position.

Note: I used a Medball in between my legs to focus on adduction contraction to help engage my core and prevent my lower back to bother (been focusing on a lot of lower back correctives + activation movements since having an injury).

Let me know how it goes!
