Nordic Curl
The nordic curl is a leg curl for the hamstrings, done with bodyweight only. It also works the glutes. On weyt.ai it counts toward Balance as Hamstrings (minimum 6 sets per 30 days) and toward your 12-week strength trend, where each rep counts as 50% of your bodyweight plus whatever you add.

How weyt.ai scores it
- Balance: every logged set counts toward the Hamstrings group, which needs at least 6 sets per 30 days for full credit.
- Strength: counts as a lift. Each rep counts as 50% of your bodyweight plus whatever you add, so it earns volume, a best lift estimate (an estimated one-rep max) and PR credit like a loaded lift.
- Routine: any session that includes it counts toward your weekly target, the 4-week consistency window and your streak.
Scoring is plain arithmetic, not AI: the same sets always give the same result. Read the method on the about page.
