Slide Out

Slide Out

The slide out is a challenging dynamic total body movement that stabilizes and strengthens the core. This exercise also increases strength in the hips, lower back, and shoulders.

Instructions

  1. 626_A
    Kneel on a mat with hands on sliding discs or towels. Your body should form a straight line from your shoulders to your knees.
  2. Slide Out
    Slide your hands forward while keeping your abs braced and move as far as you can without sagging your hips or feeling pain. Then reverse back to the starting position.

Trainer’s Tips

  • Avoid collapsing at the lower back. Tighten your core or reduce the range of motion.
  • Put as much of your weight on your hands instead of keeping it in your lower body.
  • When returning to the starting position, don't pull with your arms. Instead, focus on using your core.
