TRAIN WITH ME: Gliding Discs Workout explained!

in fitness •  7 years ago 

                    Hi,guys!

     Since my last post was so apreciated and many of you like to workout and stay in shape,I thought that it would be great to give you a workout idea that you can do in the comfort of your home or at the gym using gliding discs.

    Why gliding discs?

Because you can get a great trainning session only using this accessories,it may seem easy,but trust me,it will be challenging.They will improve your strength,flexibility and stability,doing lunges using gliding discs is much more difficult than doing lunges on your feet,because all the muscles in your legs and core must synchronize to keep you from falling.

 I did a photoshoot for how to use gliding discs,using those photos I will make a full workout that you can do anytime,anywhere:)

This total-body combo workout targets multiple muscle groups to help you blast your entire body,while keeping your heart rate elevated-in just 30-40 minutes.

 THE WORKOUT

Circuit I -repet 3 times

  • Reverse Lunges 10 reps each leg
  • Jumping Jacks(without gliding discs) 30 sec
  • Gliding Sit-Ups 20 reps
  • Jog in Place(without gliding discs) 30 sec
  • Alternate Arm Slides

Circuit II-repet 3 times

  • Gliding Hamstring Curl 15 reps
  • Jumping Jacks(without gliding discs) 30 sec
  • Knee Tucks 15 reps
  • Jog in Place (without gliding discs) 30 sec
  • Slide-Through 12 reps


THE EXERCISES EXPLAINED

Revers Lunge: Stand with both feet on the gliding discs facing forward,slide one foot behind you while keeping your chest high and your back flat.Once you`ve reached a 90-degrees in both knees,slide that foot back underneath you and squeeze your glutes.Swich legs and repet.


Gliding Sit-ups: Lie down on the floor with heels on the gliding discs and legs completely extended,elevate your upper body and pull your thighs toward the chest.Once you feel the contraction,lower your body to the starting position.


Alternate Arm Slides: Start on your knees with your palms on the gliding discs,slide your body forward until you create a straight line from your thighs through your hips and torso.Engage your abdominals and slide one arm out in front of you while keeping your shoulders down and back flat.Slide that arm back under your shoulder and repeat with the other arm.


Gliding Hamstring Curl: Lie on your back with your arms at your sides with each heel in the center of the gliding disc,squeeze the glutes to lift the pelvis off of the floor.Use your hamstrings and glutes to pull the heels closer to the body than slowly slide the heels back to the starting position without lowering the hips all the way down


Knee Tucks: Come into a standard plank position and without piking the hips,use your lower abs to pull the knees under the chest.


Slide-Through: Sit with legs entended,each heel on a disc and palms on the floor beside your hips.Lift hips and slide feet forward as you raise hips until you`re in a reverse plank.Reverse the motion,sliding feet back until you`re in a pike position.Come back to starting position and repet.


I hope this gets you motivated to start working out!

Getting in shape and making your body feel good is one of the ultimate ways to respect yourself!

I am just say wow yu present a think that every one is needed. please tell how much time we should take exercise daily.

I am quite a gym rat:) and I usually workout 35\45 min of strenght training and 20\30 min of cardio so I think that between 35 min to an hour is plenty of time to get a good workout!I will be posting more workout ideas!:)

The thing about gliding disk is that it not only helps you do the workout, but holding your starting positions and preventing the disk from gliding is a workout on its own! They help with your core big time and on form. Great post! And awesome workout!
