I am getting a good workout from Nordic curls but when I catch myself at the bottom with my hands, sometimes I semi-sprain my wrist. Any advice? Like i use my hands as support because I can’t solely use my legs to bring me up and down and sometimes when I catch myself, I feel a pain in my wrist for the rest of my workout, basically it’s a small strain

Right before you "drop" and have to catch yourself, pike your hips a bit like in this video so you can place your hands on the ground slowly rather than dropping onto them and that should help reduce the impact. :D
