=====================
Core sliders (also referred to as exercise gliders) are one of my favorite pieces of equipment.
They’re lightweight, portable, inexpensive, and there’s SO MUCH you can do with them.
By adding the components of lateral motion with resistance (friction) you can actually work your muscles harder, kick on more muscle groups, and maximize your workout efficiency.
Today I’m sharing 7 of my favorite slider exercises to tone and strengthen your core in one amazing workout you can do at home in 15 minutes or less.
This is a great “finishing” routine to work some abs into your normal mix or a great “stand-alone” workout that can be done if you’re maybe crunched for time.
Okay – for this workout you’ll be performing 7 of the best core exercises with these exercise sliders.
You’ll perform 10 reps of each exercise and then quickly move on to the next exercise. Try to keep your rest time down to less than 30 seconds as you’re moving between exercises.
After you’ve performed all seven glider ab exercises, take a 1-2 minute break and then jump back in for set #2.
After set #2 rest 1-2 minutes and repeat one more time (3 sets total).
