Exercise: Reverse Nordics
Tired of Squats to work out your quadricep muscles? Try this exercise out!
This exercise is categorized as a strengthening exercise.
Here’s what muscles are involved in this movement:
- Quadriceps
- Hip Flexors
- Gluteals
- Abdominals
- Erector Spinae Group
This exercise doesn’t require any equipment – all you need is your body!
The goal of this movement is to strengthen the quadriceps by isolating them in this exercise – Reverse Nordics.
Our Quadriceps are responsible for extending our knees out (think kicking a soccer ball).
So when you’re doing this exercise – you’re forcibly pushing your legs into the ground to keep yourself from falling as you extend backwards.
🎯 Tired of focusing on squats, day-in and day-out to work out your 🦵quads?
❌ Even if you’re not, you still HAVE to try these!
🎥 Here’s a little video on reverse nordics! 👍
They’re great for working on strengthening your quads, especially if you need to isolate them!
Make sure you’re nice and warmed up before trying this exercise, as it can be hard on your joints if done improperly.
If you’re starting out, you can cheat a little bit by bending your upper body a bit forward to act as a counterweight to balance!
