Build muscle strength using glider discs

Beginner 6 weeks 3x/week
article rating 4.6/5 48

The SL 500 glider discs are designed to create a sliding surface between the hands or feet, and the floor.
So rather than raising your arms or legs during weight training exercises, you can slide your hands or feet on the floor while supporting your body weight.
The size of a frisbee, glider discs are two-sided discs (one side in hard plastic and the other in fabric, or two sides made of a durable material similar to a coated fabric) that makes it possible for you to train on different types of floors.
The smooth side will slide more easily on carpet and fabric.

In this programme you will do 3 circuits (lower body, upper body, and full body), for six weeks. The lengths of the workouts will increase over time. You can also do each circuit in single sessions.

Coach advice

"Do each exercise with smooth, controlled movements. Do each exercise for 15 to 30 seconds depending on your physical fitness condition and the selected circuit. Do the entire circuit one to three times. Don't skip the rest and recovery times, and feel free to make them longer if you need to. Focus on quality rather than quantity when doing each exercise."
