Today we introduce you to another training tool from our Fitness backpack before: the slider
Our small round Slider weigh only 80g, have a diameter of about 18cm and are only 8mm thick. Nevertheless, this is already enough for your muscles to burn properly!
The soft neoprene side is intended for indoors (eg your wooden floor) and with the hard plastic side you can glide on carpet or outside over the floor. Thus, the sliders are also great for your workout at home!
The advantage of the sliders is that your body must constantly re-stabilize itself during the movements and keep the balance, so that you do not fall over. So that this does not happen, your deep muscles in the core area (between the abdomen and back) work especially during training with the sliders!
It's not just your deep muscles that are working - your sense of balance, which needs to balance your body, and your endurance are also improved by our sliders.
For Your leg muscles you can do, for example, the following exercise:
Lunges
For lunges, stand hip-width apart with one foot on each slider. With your right foot, slide backward and simultaneously bend your knees. The left foot remains on the floor, the knee forms a 90-degree angle. With the right knee briefly touch the floor and keep the upper body straight. Shoulders and hips point forward. Then slide your right leg back forward to the starting position and stand up. Then it's the other side's turn.
For Your abdominal muscles you can do the following exercise:
Mountaineer
Get into the quadruped stance with your arms shoulder width apart. Now place your feet on one slider each and lower your body down into the plank position. Now pull your feet up to your head between your arms alternating with the pads. Your abdomen and buttocks remain tense. These sliders are mega for your core, can you feel it?
Have fun sweating!
