Nordic Curl
Kneel on the floor with your torso upright and ankles securely anchored by a partner or support. Brace your core and keep a straight line from knees to head. Slowly lean forward, controlling the descent using your hamstrings without bending at the hips. When control is lost, catch yourself with your hands. Return to the start with assistance, keeping the movement slow and controlled.
