Sliders are a genius piece of equipment that can level up your workouts without eating up your closet space.
They are circular pads of fabric that can be placed under the hands, feet or both to create a low-traction surface. It makes for a great way to develop, stability, balance and body awareness, because moving on core sliders require more focus to stay stable.
They’re often used to train your core strength, as in this core slider workout, but Fit&Well writers have also used them as a budget (but equally effective) alternative to reformer Pilates, to improve posture, or even improve hip mobility. For something so small, they certainly deliver.
They’re cheap too, and you’ll be pleased to know you can get yourself a set for under $10. This pair is reduced to a humble $6.78 on Amazon.
Exercise sliders can go under your feet and hands and be used to add another level to exercises such as lateral lunges, sliding hamstring curls, or mountain climbers.
They give your core quite the workout, because it has to be actively engaged to maintain control over the movements and avoid slipping.
This set has two surfaces, plastic and foam, so they can be used on both hard floors and carpet.
