How to use your gliding discs
You can use the gliding discs to increase the difficulty of your training sessions and develop your strength, stability, endurance, coordination and flexibility.
What's more, you can use them to do bodyweight exercises without overloading your joints.
And because they are double sided, the sliders can be used on any surface:
- The red foam side slides on hard surfaces.
- The blue side slides on soft surfaces.
Using your gliding discs the right way Our design team gives you their advice:
"It's a good idea to choose your exercises and adapt your range to suit your level of fitness. You don't need to perform the entire movement: the aim is to maintain the correct position with your back nice and straight. The important thing is to stay in control at all times."
How do you train with sliders?
The gliding discs let you build muscle and strengthen all of your muscle groups using bodyweight exercises.
For example, you can put your feet on top when doing lunges. As well as helping you build muscle, this exercise is very good for runners.
To find out more about all the exercises you can do with these sliders, check out the advice on the Decathlon Coach app and in the booklet that comes with the SL 500s!
What workout programmes can you do with the gliding discs?
The Decathlon Coach app, available in French and English, has six different circuits with eight exercises each:
- 3 x 12-minute circuits: upper body, lower body, full body.
- 3 x 30-minute circuits: upper body, lower body, full body.
And because your sliders can be used on any floor, you can take them anywhere with you! Their small size and their bag mean that you can easily stick them in your holdall or suitcase.
