This video is actually the third of a five-part series. However, it is my second 6-minute gliding disc workout. It is a Tabata style workout that features 2 Gliding Disk Exercises: knee tucks and slide crunch.
One round of Tabata is four minutes long. By adding a short warm-up and a quick cool down, we get a six-minute workout that will jumpstart your metabolism today…especially if you do the workout first thing in the morning.
Featured Exercises
Knee Tucks
- Start in a straight arm plank position with weight evenly distributed
- Keep gliding disks under your feet
- Bend both knees simultaneously and slide them toward your chest
- Return to starting position
- Options:
- Slide knees to the center toward the chest*
- Alternate knees to right elbow then left after returning to starting position
- Slide knees to the right-start, center-start, left-start, center-start, and repeat
Sliding Side Crunch
- Sit in a “mermaid” pose with right leg in front
- Extend right arm to the floor with a gliding disk under your hand
- Slide to the right, maintaining your balance
- Return to starting position
- Switch to the left side
Next Week
I’ll feature two more gliding disk exercises in another six-minute workout.
