WHY SHOULD YOU TRAIN WITH FLOOR SLIDERS?
If you’re looking for a piece of equipment that is effective, efficient, versatile and simple, look no further than the Casall slider. This simple tool is portable, is great if you don’t have access to a gym, and can be used in a variety of ways to challenge the entire body. However, their benefits go far beyond the convenience factor, sliders can improve your flexibility, strength, and endurance.
Sliders will drastically increase your overall core strength over time if used correctly, as they add an element of instability that requires your core to work harder to keep you balanced so you can perform the exercises properly. Plus, the tools create a somewhat unstable surface, which challenges your proprioceptive system (the receptors responsible for body awareness) as well as your core. In other words, with every rep your brain and your core are working hard.
FLOOR SLIDER EXERCISES
Floor sliders may feel like a blast from the past for many but this small piece of equipment can really take your bodyweight training to the next level. For example; we can all do regular squats and probably do them in our daily routine, but add a set of sliders - slide your feet apart and then pull them back together to stand again - this will be an entire new challenging move.
Experience the effects of our favorite slider exercises, by adding them to your regular routine; or go for a quick total-body workout, performing each exercise for 1 minute in order.
