Gliding Disc Exercises That Burn Fat Tone Your Entire Body & Are Totally Fun

The best thing about Gliding Discs is how inexpensive they are. They're a great alternative to ab wheels and slide boards.

Plus you can easily pack them away in your luggage or gym bag and use them just about anywhere that has a carpeted or smooth floor.

Below you'll find some of the best gliding disc exercises for abs, butt, legs, and upper body. Reviews on the two top brands plus great videos with ideas on how to use them.

Gliding Disc Exercises for Fullbody Toning & Fatloss

As you can see in the video, gliding disc exercises can target the entire body and kids love them too.

My son's favorite place to be on a saturday afternoon is our gym where he can glide his little heart out just like the kids in the video.

You can use them for traveling planks, plank pikes, inner and outer thigh moves, lunges, bridges with leg curls.

When you perform regular full body exercises on gliding discs your abs and glutes have to work extra hard to keep you stable and this increases calories burned and fatloss.

Gliding Disc Exercise That Target The Legs Butt & Abs

Gliding Discs can also be combined with weights, bars, or balls for increased fat burning and toning.

They can be used for cardio intervals like side to side slides, mountain climbers, plank walkouts, traveling planks.

They also work with yoga moves like gliding boat pose and with pilates moves like the modified side plank glide. All 3 of these exercises are featured in video.

The combinations are endless and can make your workouts more fun and more challenging so you can get results faster.

The top 2 pieces of equipment trainers at our gym wrestle each other for are gliding discs and the egoscue timer.

Gliding Disc Exercises for Increased Fatloss & Injury Rehab

As soon as you start using Gliding Discs you're going to notice 3 things.

1. You breathe much harder and sweat a lot more.

2. Your abs, butt, and legs start to burn right away.

3. You have way more fun with your workouts.

Gliding discs and the Valslide target virtually every muscle in your body no matter what exercise you happen to be doing and they tone with laser precision.

They are more demanding but at the same time fun so you burn more fat and your workout seems to just fly by.

Another big bonus is they are great for knee and hip rehab. I use them with most of my female clients including Marjorie who is 69 and has had 2 knee surgeries and was on the verge of hip surgery. Our gliding discs exercises have saved her from having to go back in for hip surgery.

Gliding Discs vs. Valslide

Shape: Gliding Discs are round and the Valslide discs are oblong. Round discs are harder to control for beginners but advanced exercisers like the freedom to move in all directions. The oblong shape is easier to control and fits the shape of the hands and feet but not as easy to move in diagonal directions. I prefer more freedom to move in all directions for my clients.

Extras: Both discs come with dvd's that feature great exercises but Gliding discs feature more classic aerobics style workout dvd's. Similar to an aerobics class and taught by aerobics type instructors. If you love that style of workout you have to try Booty Beautiful with Keli Roberts DVD .

The valslide features trainer style workout dvd's because Valerie Waters is a personal trainer to the stars vs. an aerobics instructor. If you prefer a more trainer style of instruction then be sure to try GoFit Ultimate Val Slide Core Workout Program with DVD and Training Guide
