A 10-Minute Workout for the Legs Using Only the NordBench

Not every leg day has to be an hour-long grind. If you want an effective leg workout that builds strength, improves hip mobility, and gets your leg muscles firing in just 10 minutes, grab your NordBench and let’s get to work.

Warm-Up: Get the Blood Flowing

At the very least, you're doing leg exercises every time you decide to get up and move. When you stand, you have your feet hip width apart, when you walk, you have your knees bent. Sometimes you favor your left knee or left foot, which works on your standing leg. When you lift your groceries, you get your legs shoulder width apart, and your core muscles help you lift as you're building leg muscle. My point is, everyday actions can be part of your workout routine for your legs, but when you want to work on something specific like your inner thighs, you need focused effort, thus the need for leg day exercises.

🔥 Bodyweight Squats – Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, arms forward. Lower your hips forward until your thighs are parallel to the floor. Drive through your heels back to standing position. Repeat for 30 seconds.

🔥 Reverse Lunges – From a standing position, step back with your right leg, lower your back knee, and keep your torso upright. Push back up and switch legs. Repeat for 30 seconds.

🔥 Glute Bridges – Lie on your NordBench, feet flat and hip width apart. Press through your heels, squeeze your glutes, and lift your hips forward. Hold at the top for a second, then lower down. Repeat for 30 seconds.

The Workout: 3 Moves, 2 Rounds

🔥 Nordic Curls (30 sec)

Secure your feet shoulder width apart in the NordBench, keep your core tight, and lower your torso upright forward as slowly as possible. Push back up to the starting position.

🔥 Slant Board Squats (30 sec)

Adjust your rear foot on the slant board, keep your toes pointing forward, and lower into a squat while keeping your knees slightly bent. Press up and repeat.

🔥 Hip Thrusts (30 sec)

With your upper body supported on the NordBench, keep your feet flat and drive your hips forward to the ceiling. Lower under control and repeat.

💥 Rest for 30 seconds, then repeat!
