CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Today's fitness focus: How to get an intense bodyweight workout anywhere with sliders
Our guide to it all...Lynn Fernandez from Dat Fit Training.
Those tiny little discs, known as gliders, can make even the simplest moves more challenging. Sliders increase the difficulty of many exercises, and force the use of stabilizer muscles while pushing bigger muscles to work harder. Plus, they are inexpensive, portable, and you can work your core muscles in ways that aren't possible with traditional exercises. You can also use paper plates or towels.
Workout:
1. Reverse Lunge Right/Left - Get ready for your hamstrings to burn!
2. Reverse Lunge holds sprinter Right/Left – Every time you sprint in this position the quads, calf muscles, hamstrings and bottom say “When are we going to stop!”
3. Bridge to Alt. Hamstring curl – The glutes know this is one of the best exercises to work that bottom with intentionality
4. Plank Elbow to Knee – Great exercise but if you want to increase difficulty do both legs at the same time.
5. Power Pushups (one arm to the side) – Doing this exercises from your knees is still difficult.
