Sliders are one of my favorite gym accessories that I own! I learned about them originally when I was working with my trainer. There are so many different workouts that you can do with them. I made a short workout to try the sliders out. My favorite pair I bought off of amazon for fairly cheap. They are my favorite because they slide easily. I have tried many different ones and I haven’t been impressed. I will link them below in case you want the same ones!S

These are my favorite slider exercises for my legs and core. I do each of these for about 40 seconds and then rest for 20 seconds. For the seconds I am doing the exercise, I am doing as many as I possibly can. I do these exercises three times each.

Mountain Climbers

Start by beginning in a plank position with both feet on sliders. Make sure to be in a good plank position without your hips being too high. Bring one leg in toward your chest and then return it back to the start position. Now switch to your opposite leg and do the same thing. Repeat, changing legs quickly and concentrating on keeping your plank position proper.

Hamstring curl or Bridge Slide

I have heard this exercise called either of these names. You will start by lying on your back with a slider under each heel, toes lifted, hips lifted off the ground in a glute bridge. ​ Slide your heels forward to straighten your knees, making sure to never let your butt touch the floor. Then​ slide your heels toward your butt to bend your knees and return to the starting position. Repeat. You will feel this in your hamstring and glutes.

Wide Mountain Climbers

For this exercise, you will basically be repeating the mountain climber steps except you will be bringing your leg to the outside of your supporting arm for each side. You cannot go nearly as fast as the mountain climber exercise but you will feel it even more in your core.

One Leg Bridge Slide

This exercise is very similar to the regular bridge slide but you are doing each leg separately as the other leg supports your bridge. You will start this exercise by lying on your back, as you bend one leg and keep it in a bridge and the other moves to straighten. Repeat with the opposite leg and never let your butt touch the floor.

Pike

This is my favorite slider exercise but it is also the most challenging in this set. You will begin in a plank with both feet on the sliders. Bring both feet in toward your hands at the same time with straight legs bringing your body into a pike position. Go as far as you can with straight legs, then slide your feet back to the starting position. If this is too hard or you cannot do this, you can start by doing a tuck. This is basically the same movement except you bring both knees to your chest instead of just keeping them straight.
