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

The media could not be loaded. 7/5.2025 : This review is for the new PRO 3.0. It has a metal cylinder inside the anchor and possibly other improvements. I got this because I wanted to do Nordic curls without a huge device. If you get one door anchor for Nordic curls, this is the best I have found. The materials seem very good, and it does seem like it will hold up well over time, although I wish the plug was a bit more confidence inspiring, and I wish the strap was a more heavy duty material. Don’t get me wrong, the material feels plenty good to do the job, but I just want peace of mind that nothing will tear, and am willing to spend a little more for it. However, that is likely a moot point. It does work on the door, just make sure you are on the side of the door where the door frame is (the door should not open into the room you are doing the curls in), otherwise you might destroy your door frame and hinges. But, even then, my door, which is hollow, was warping under my feet quite a lot, to the point that I needed to curl my toes and focus on not snapping the door. That makes it much harder to do the curls, not to mention that I don’t want to break my door. I am 5’10” and 210lbs. My gf is shorter and 120lbs, and even she felt a worrying amount of warping on the door. So, the device itself is a great idea if you have very strong doors. But I will have to find another solution, likely I will try to get a versatile workout bench and use a Nordic strap. The downside of this nordstick is that, without a backplate, it isn’t very useful. I’m undecided if I will keep it or return it. I hope the review helps. I tried to record what the materials are like. If you want to try a door anchor, I definitely recommend trying this one over any others that I have seen.

The NordStick Nordic Hamstring Curl Strap is an incredible tool for strengthening hamstrings. Oh, but for a word of caution. I’m 74, and lead an active life in the Northwoods of Minnesota, and have always been aware of the imbalance between the quadriceps and Hamstrings. My cabin is a MacGyver labyrinth of exercise devices, and this hamstring curl strap is the cat’s meow. Unless your hamstrings are strong and supple, I would very strongly advise the use of a support like a balance ball to lower and raise yourself to the start position. As Arnold Schwarzenegger said repetitively in the short edition of Education of a Body Builder, concentrate on the muscle group upon which you are working. A balance ball will enable you to do so as you lower and then raise yourself. You will be in total connection with your hamstrings from the higher to lower portions and everything in between, with little to no fear of pulling or tearing your hamstrings. As you become more comfortable with this device, it’s easy to adjust how much or little you require the balance ball.I’ve also begun using The hamstring curl strap for reverse crunches. An added benefit is stretching one’s pecs, which will help loosen shoulder tightness, as you go through the reverse crunch. This is a fantastic fitness tool!

Nordic curls are one of my new favorite exercises. In lieu of getting a full metal setup at home or continuing to jam my feet under my couch, I decided to try the NordStick.Pros:+ I can do Nordic curls on it+ PortableCons:- Even at its shortest adjustment, it doesn't quite accommodate for my small feet (M7.5) I have to lift my heel further and press my toes to the door (as they cannot touch the floor) to get enough friction to make this work.- It tore my door (see pictures). You might consider placing tape, a towel, or something to buffer the friction of the rough strap against the door.For at-home, I'm sticking to jamming my feet under my couch until I make some adjustments.

This is a great purchase. Not much to say about this. Good quality, it's lasted this long and doesn't show much wear and tear. It works well and is a good price point to be able to do Nordic at home. Make sure you have some support for your knees.

I travel for work, this has been a great addition for road trips, when you have to get the workout in in the hotel room

Product is not even the same as shown in the picture with a cheap door stop, they advertise a strong rubberized plastic door stop. Mine came with a weak soft foam that will be torn within a few uses! Unbelievable. Trying to send back and get another brand that does not lie about their product.
