Get Ready to Slide Away Extra Calories

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A EFFECTIVE WAY TO BURN CALORIES?

HOW ABOUT A WORKOUT YOU CAN DO ANYWHERE . . .FIT TRAVEL TO GO?

DO YOU WANT TO TONE AND TIGHTEN YOUR LEGS AND BOOTY?

The answer is as simple as sliding your way to a great,  intense workout.  YES, sliders offer amazing benefits to burning calories, toning your body and core! That is why I have been using sliders in my own workouts and also with my personal training clients.  YOU must try these, they will become one of your favorite additions to your workouts! Are you ready to slide away those extra calories?  Here are some of the many benefits to using the sliders for your workouts:

USE ON ANY SURFACE  Sliding discs are perfect for home workouts and on the road as they have a double sided design which adds additional versatility. Coarse side for hard floors and smooth side for carpets. Workout anywhere in your home, hotel or outside and get results.
STRONG TO THE CORE  Slide and glide your way to an improved physique. The slider exercise discs will give you an intense workout of the mid-section, strengthening your core to give you a toned midsection. You can target individual muscle groups and workout your entire body as well.
COMFORTABLE & DURABLE Use these exercise gliding discs for core strengthening, athletic conditioning, CrossFit, HIIT, yoga, dance, balance training and more. Not only do they reduce impact to protect your tendons and joints, but these power glide discs fit easily in any small carry bag so you can workout anywhere, even when traveling (size: 9 in x 7 in).

SLIDER WORKOUT

 

Skating (cardio): Place your feet on top of the sliders, bending your knees keeping your shoulders back while slightly bending at the waist. Keep your left leg stationary in the bent position, then push off with your right foot into a sliding position, like you are skating. Then transfer the weight to your right side, sliding the left foot, then joining the right foot. (Just like you are skating on ice pushing off back and forth……makes me appreciate my son, Grant, as he plays college hockey and now I see why he has such strong quads & glutes! 🏒)

Do: 3 sets of 30 slides

 

 

 

Outward Leg Extension: Place your feet on top of the sliders, bending your knees keeping your shoulders back while slightly bending at the waist.  Position the weight on your standing left leg with knee bent, sliding your right foot out to the side until straight, then slide your right foot back into meeting the left foot. Repeat the same sliding motion on the left leg.

Do: 3 sets of 15 reps on each leg

 

 

 

 

 

Forward Leg Extensions: Place your feet on top of the sliders, bending your knees keeping your shoulders back while slightly bending at the waist. Position the weight on your standing left leg with knee bent, sliding your right foot forward until straight, then slide your right foot back into meeting the left foot. Repeat the same sliding motion on the left leg.

Do: 3 sets of 15 reps on each leg

 

 

 

 

 

Backwards Leg Extension: Place your feet on top of the sliders, bending your knees keeping your shoulders back while slightly bending at the waist. Position the weight on your standing left leg with knee bent, sliding your right foot backwards until straight, then slide your right foot back into meeting the left foot. Repeat the same sliding motion on the left leg.

Do: 3 sets of 15 reps on each leg

 

 

 

 

 

Half Circle Leg Rotation: Place your feet on top of the sliders, bending your knees keeping your shoulders back while slightly bending at the waist. Position the weight on your standing left leg with knee bent, sliding your right foot forward, then sliding the foot in a half circle position ending with your foot behind you. Then slowly slide your foot from backwards in a half circle moving forward back to starting position. Repeat the same sliding motion on the left leg.

Do: 3 sets of 15 reps on each leg

 

 

 

Double Hamstring Curl: Lay on the floor with your knees bent and the sliders under each foot.  Position your arms straight by your side and then slightly lift your booty off the floor and keep it elevated.  Slowly curl your feet towards your booty using your hamstring muscles, then slowly return to starting position.

Do: 3 sets of 20 reps

 

Single Hamstring Curl: Lay on the floor with your knees bent and the sliders under each foot. Position your arms straight by your side and then slightly lift your booty off the floor and keep it elevated. Slowly curl one foot towards your booty using your hamstring muscles, then slowly return to starting position. Then repeat same movement on the opposite leg.

Do: 3 sets of 20 reps on each leg

 

Core Cruncher: Place your knees on the floor, with feet elevated and each hand on a slider. Keep your core engaged and tight the entire time.  Slowly slide left hand forward until almost straight, then using your core muscles, bring your left  hand back to meet your right hand.  Then switch using the right hand to reach forward, then return.

Do: 2 sets of 20 reps on each arm

 

Mountain Climbers (cardio) similar to this picture, just transfer the sliders to your feet: Place your hands on the floor and put your body into a runners position and place your feet on the sliders.  Keep you arms straight and begin sliding each foot towards your torso by alternating each knee forward, like you are running in place.

Do: 3 sets of 30 reps

 

 

FIT TRAVEL TO GO!  I have an Adidas travel bag that includes so many awesome workout tools to help me get my workout down on the road.  These sliders that I am showing you is so light and portable you can pack them easily in your workout bag and do the exercises right in your hotel room or wherever you might be traveling too.  Look for more blog posts in the very near future about what else I put in my travel bag for workouts on the road!  Sign up below for my blog post updates, so you don’t miss any of my workouts!
