NordStick Nordic Hamstring Curl Strap - Original Nord Stick Exercise Set for Home and Travel - 5 Second Set Up

I purchased this after watching the knees over toes guy on youtube. This is a very well made, simple to use piece of equipment. It did take some time getting the strap adjusted but once that was done it works very well. This exercise is tougher than it looks so you may want to use something like a TRX or even a broom stick to help guide yourself down to your strength level. I have been doing these exercises once per week since I received it and am making progress but it is still not an easy move and my hamstring let me know they are getting work, HARD. The only thing I would like to see better is a different piece to pull against the door. Not that the one supplied is ineffective it just binds up against the door and can be a pain to slide along it. Really that is a minor complaint.

I am a runner that has recently had hamstring problems, and wanted to add some hamstring strengthening into my routine. This device works very well and does not take up much space, so well worth having. It does take some time and effort to develop the strength to do a true nordic curl, but you can put some of your weight on your hands as you go up and down while using this. In time I will know if this helps my running, but I am going to give this a try.

Don't buy this full price. If you can pick it up for a steep discount, though, it's a great little workout tool. I am an aerialist and after watching a friend tear her hammy in a routine I decided to try some dedicated exercises to strengthen my hamstrings and hopefully prevent any of my own injuries. I've only been using this for about a week and the Nordic curl is *hard* but it feels great. The nordstick is comfortable, but I'm a smidge disappointed in the quality. I got it for a steep discount and it's definitely worth the price I paid... But not much more than that. It comes apart easier than I anticipated, and if one of the little endcaps comes off it can be pretty difficult to get back on properly because they don't have any holes for air to escape, so you're just trapping air inside the metal tube core. It's also a little difficult to adjust and the stitching isn't terribly clean, leaving me slightly worried about its longevity. Aside from that, though, it does its job well so far and the foam padding over the steel core seems like pretty good construction, so I only knocked a single star off.

It is easy to use and well comfortable

What in the heck am I doing in my housing situation. Still trying to work it correctly and build muscle where I thought it would work. It’s seems to only work between the upper calf and lower hamstrings behind the knee. Be carful not to hurt yourselves.

Great for sit ups! But when I went to work my hamstrings I had no idea how weak they were. OMG! I have much work to do. But that’s good. It was difficult for me to get my feet on the door and then this contraption over the ankles. I will be working with this daily until I can see and feel improvement! If this was made in China I don’t care. I’m 290 lbs and it holds me solidly. Oh. Best if you use it with a steel door. Your hollow core doors might get torn up.

Works well, I put a yoga mat under my knees for comfort and it's very nice to use. Had held up to over a year of use. I recommend this for a home setup as a good option to work the hamstrings

I haven’t used the Nordstick too much yet, but so far, it does exactly what it’s supposed to for hamstring training. If you don’t want to spend $400+ on a bigger setup, this is a solid alternative. It allows you to progress at your own pace with Nordics while still getting the same (or even better) results. At the end of the day, the goal is to get flat to the floor, and this helps you work toward that. Definitely worth trying—great piece of equipment!

I purchased this product thinking I would receive the norstick, however it is a different low budget alternative. The anchor piece is made of foam and not rubber.

Does exactly what it’s supposed to! Love it!

Insanely durable, but a bit annoying to position yiur leg under it

The best equipment when you can't go to gym
