You don’t need heavy weights to carve out strong glutes and core muscles. If you want to spice up your bodyweight workouts, add gliders – light plastic circles that you place under your feet to really challenge balance, strength and control. If you don’t fancy buying a pair, why not test these exercises using folded tea towels?
Lockdown required us to get more creative with our workouts. While there were those who blew a month’s salary on Peloton, many of us realised that we could do a lot with very little by way of equipment. Now that we have access to more options, however, there’s an argument for keeping those simple but effective workouts in our regimes. Enter: gliders.
No, we don’t mean those tasty little burgers, but the super-lightweight round exercise discs loved by personal trainers for the way they challenge big muscle groups. Perfect for travelling and known to improve flexibility, strength and endurance, gliders are the secret to strong, lean muscles whatever your floor space or time limits.
