Fat Burning Workouts

Saturday, January 30, 2010 By: fitfax

Back in the day, there was “The Slide” or “The Glide”.  A big plastic sheet you placed on the floor and you put cloth booties on over your sneakers and would slide side to side.  It was a cool workout for a while, but VERY limited.  People got bored and it fell to the wayside.  So someone has updated the concept, and  made little individual nylon type circular pads called gliders.  Talk about fat burning workouts!!!

You can put these gliders under your feet and slide side to side, and add some squats!  You can lunge forward and backward with the gliders under your feet.  Another way to use the gliders is putting them under your hands.  Do a push up and slide one arm out to the side, or slide the arm forward, alternating each arm.

There are so many fat burning workouts that can be done using the gliders with  all the variations.  Plus, another benefit besides fat burning, is toning different muscles in different ways!  An alternative to the gliders, is using 2 paper plates!
