Description: Learn A Reverse Nordic Curl

The reverse Nordic curl is the gold standard anti-sit maneuver and is a great movement skills for everyone. Those that suffer from back pain, hip pain, knee pain…this is the move for you. Be patient with the progression. It may take quite some time to accomplish. Consistency is always the most effective strategy.

Pace yourself through each movement. If you get to a version of it that you don’t feel you can do, then just repeat what you successfully achieved and save the more challenging ones for when you improve.

Use a high surface behind you to get in a comfortable position. Progress this to the floor in the next move.

If you can’t lean back, but can sit on your heels then just start there! If you can’t place your hands on the ground, then reach for a higher surface behind you like a weight bench or adman.
