This is the final video of a five-part series. However, it is the fourth Tabata style workout that features two Gliding Disk exercises: plank push-ups and the inchworm.
One round of Tabata is actually four minutes long. By adding a short warm-up and a quick cool down, we get a six-minute workout that will jump-start your metabolism… especially if you do this workout first thing in the morning.
Plank Push-up
- Start in a straight arm plank position with weight evenly distributed
- Keep gliding disks under your hands
- Slide right hand out to the side while performing the down phase of a push-up
- Slide right hand back to the center while performing the up phase of a push-up
- Return to starting position
- Options:
- Stay on one side to complete continuous reps
- Alternate arms*
- Rest on knees instead of remaining on your feet *
Inchworm
- Start in a straight arm plank position with weight evenly distributed
- Keep gliding disks under your feet
