Nordic Hamstring Exercise

The Nordic Hamstring Exercise is a strength training movement designed to enhance the muscles at the back of your thighs (hamstrings). To perform it, kneel on a soft surface with your feet secured, then lean forward slowly while keeping your hips straight and your torso rigid. The goal is to control your descent as far as you can before using your hands to stop your fall. This exercise helps prevent injuries, especially in sports, by increasing muscle strength and improving control. Regular practice can lead to better athletic performance and reduced risk of hamstring strains.
