Your core is the foundation of every movement in everyday life and athletic performance. Whether you’re lifting, twisting, or simply standing tall, your core muscles play a vital role in providing stability, power, and balance. Today’s core workout is all about harnessing the power of supersets to engage your entire core—from your rectus abdominis to your internal and external obliques and beyond.
Supersets combine two exercises performed back-to-back with minimal rest, allowing you to maximize efficiency while keeping your heart rate elevated. Ready to sculpt your core and feel stronger in everything you do? Let’s dive in!
✅ Superset 1
-
Sit-Ups (15 reps)
-
QL Raise (12 reps per side)
✅ Superset 2
-
Landmine Rotations (10 reps per side)
-
Adductor Raise (12 reps per side)
💡 Perform 3 rounds of each superset with 30 seconds of rest between.
Superset 1: Sit-Ups + QL Raise
We’re starting strong with a combination that targets your upper torso and deep core muscles while engaging the pelvic floor muscles.
🌟 Sit-Ups: Lie flat on the floor with your feet flat and knees bent. Place your hands behind your head or crossed over your chest. Slowly lift your upper body toward your knees, keeping your core tight. Lower back down with control.
🌟 QL Raise: Using the NordBench, position yourself sideways with one leg tucked underneath and your body stable on the bench. Extend the other leg outward. Lower your torso sideways until you feel a stretch in your oblique muscles, then raise yourself back up to the starting position.
Perform 15 reps of sit-ups followed by 12 reps of QL raises per side.

Superset 2: Landmine Rotations + Adductor Raise
This superset emphasizes rotational strength and core stability, two essential components for a strong core that supports athletic movements and prevents injury.
🌟 Landmine Rotations: Attach the Landmine Attachment to the NordBench. Hold the barbell with both hands, arms straight. Rotate the barbell side to side in a controlled motion, keeping your core tight and your hips stable. This engages your internal obliques and improves anti-lateral flexion.
🌟 Adductor Raise: Lie flat on the floor with one leg extended out to the side. Using the NordBench for support, lift the extended leg upward, squeezing your inner thigh muscles. Slowly lower it back down. This exercise targets your pelvic floor muscles and enhances stability.
Perform 10 rotations per side, followed by 12 adductor raises per side.

Why These Supersets Work
💪 Improved Physical Performance: A strong core enhances your ability to perform everyday tasks and athletic movements. You’ll notice better posture, balance, and power during activities like lifting, twisting, and running.
💪 Injury Prevention: Core training stabilizes your spine and pelvis, reducing the risk of chronic low back pain and other injuries.
💪 Enhanced Appearance: Consistent core work strengthens and tones your abdominal muscles, contributing to a leaner, more defined midsection.
💪 Efficient Workouts: Supersets maximize your time by targeting multiple muscle groups in one session, helping you get more out of every workout.
With just a few sets of these exercises, you’ll feel stronger, move better, and build a core that supports everything you do. The NordBench and its attachments make these exercises accessible and adaptable to any fitness level, helping you progress at your own pace.
