The 4 Best Fitness Slider Exercises That'll Ignite Your Core & Burn Your Glutes

6/6/2018

Wanna know how these 2 x fitness sliders from K-Mart can get you rock hard abs and a firm bum for less than $5?

(You don’t even need a gym membership)

Here are the 4 best fitness slider exercises that'll ignite your core and burn your glutes.

Why Fitness Sliders?

Simply put - they're cheap, convenient and get phenomenal results.

You can literally take them anywhere you go and all you need is a piece of carpet or wooden floor - perfect for hotel rooms.

I get a lot of my clients to take a pair with them when they travel for work.

Investing in a pair of fitness sliders will save you time, money and fast track your results. I got mine from K-Mart super cheap. If you're outside Australia, just buy some paper plates from your local supermarket - does the same job.

Without further ado, here's the 4 best fitness slider exercises that'll ignite your core and burn your glutes.

The 4 Best Fitness Slider Exercises That'll Ignite Your Core & Burn Your Glutes

Fitness Slider Exercise #1: The Alphabet

This one is super effective for your waking up your core, strengthening your shoulders and switching on the calorie burning, muscle building furnace.

Start on your hands and toes.
Simply place the slider under one hand.
Begin writing the alphabet.

Once you've done A-Z on one side, change hands.

Yes it's harder than it looks....

Fitness Slider Exercise #2 - The Ab Rollout

Man this one hurt.

Even demonstrating it I struggled.

--> Perform at your own caution 😉

This fitness slider exercise is AWESOME for:

Developing a stronger core so you can reduce back pain.
Sculpting the abs so you can have a rock hard tummy.
Stabilising the shoulders so you can have better posture when working at a desk.

***If you feel this exercise in your back, I'd go back and do more planks or dead-bugs to build that core strength a little further.***

Fitness Slider Exercise #3 - The Core Push Up

Want a stronger core AND sculpted arms?

This ones for you.

This fitness slider exercise is AWESOME for:

Building the shoulders.
Burning the bingo wings.
Strengthening the core.
Igniting the 6-pack.
Blasting the calories.

Add into your workout as a finisher or as part of your program.

And last but certainly NOT least...

Fitness Slider Exercise #4 - Banded Glute Activation

This fitness slider exercise is PERFECT if you suffer tight hips and/or sit down all day.

(Or simply recovering from an MCL tear like me).

Speaking of which - this glute activation exercise can be used in nearly any form of ankle, knee or hip rehab program due to its gentle nature.

Here's how to do it:

Place a band around the knees (yes, you can buy these in the same isle at K-Mart).
Place one foot on the disc and the other flat to the floor.
Put all your weight on the leg that's NOT on the slider.
'Slide' the other foot (the one that's ON the slider) out to the side then bring it back to the start.
You're going to 'trace the clock' so you'll slide the disc out to 3'oclock, 5'oclock, 6'oclock and then around the back to 7'oclock.
Rinse and repeat

Feel your butt cheeks BURN as they switch on.

If that’s all too confusing, re-watch the video and it’ll make sense.

What Now?

Go forth and try these exercises. Taking action is the number one secret to weight loss success. Don't let this be another exercise article you read without taking action.
