slide to the left, slide to the right

AT HOME WORK OUT!!!

Personally I know how hard it can be to make it to the gym. Between work, school, and kids it's nearly impossible to breath let along go to the gym. I love my at home workouts. I honestly prefer them over the gym at times. One of my secrets for my at home work outs are furniture sliders. They typically come in a pack of 6 at most home improvement stores for just a few bucks.
Furniture sliders
There are SO MANY workouts you can do with furniture sliders. The example pictured below (excuse my ugly feet) is a fairly simple one. All you do is start in a crouched down position with your knees drawn in and hands flat on the ground. Next you slide your feet straight back into a plank position. After that you begin to slide one leg at a time up then slide back to plank. You are basically doing mountain climbers but using furniture sliders. This is a great ab work out. There are all kind of exercises you can do with these. Don't be afraid to experiment with them and see what you come up with. A few exercises are pikes, an inward/outward leg rotation, just bringing legs from plank to crouch continuously. I hope you try this out and see results from it. I love love love my furniture slider workouts!! one last thing.... when you first get started you may lose balance a lot. It's okay, I promise, everyone starts off that way but one your body gets stronger you won't lose balance as often. You will be surprised how quickly your body get stronger!!
