AB Slider Roller Slider Abdominal Exerciser with free Mat

An Ab Slider can help you tone your abdominal muscles by engaging them completely while exercising.  When using the Ab Slider correctly, you should feel a difference in the strength of your abdominal muscles. The compact design of the Ab Slider means you can complete workouts wherever you are.

Step 1

Lay a small exercise mat down on the floor. A padded mat works best, and if you purchased your Ab Slider from the Naaptol, you should have a small knee pad that came with the product.

Step 2

Kneel down on to the mat, with the Ab Slider in front of you. Rest your bottom on to your heels as your starting position.

Step 3

Grip the handles on either side of the Ab Slider. Raise your bottom so that you are balancing your body on your knees and your hands, which are holding the Ab Slider. You should be in a position you might be found in if you were crawling on your hands and knees.

Step 4

Extend the Ab Slider out in front of you, as far as you can go. Stop when your body is straight and parallel to the floor. Your knees will still be on the padded mat. When you've extended as far as you can go, pull the Ab Slider back in toward you, so that you end up back in a crawling position.

Step 5

Complete 15 repetitions to complete a set. As your abdominal muscles become strengthened, you'll be able to increase the amount of reps you do per set.

Step 6

Exercise with the Ab Slider on alternating days, giving your abdominal muscles a day to rest in between workouts. Alternate those days with cardiovascular workouts, which will help you to see the fruits of your labor faster than just using the Ab Slider on its own.

Warnings

If your shoulder, upper-back and core muscles are weak, using the Ab Slider may cause a lower-back injury. Consult your physician before using the device.
