I just LOVE getting new workout toys!! I'm not a huge equipment junky, I actually tend to do most of my workouts with little to no equipment - unless you count a 25lb toddler as equipment! However, I do have a handful of great tools in my home gym that I love using to boost my workouts, and I was so excited to get these new MomSanity sliders to add to my collection!
No More Paper Plates!
When I'm doing my own strength workout or creating a circuit for a class, I love adding in some moves that require a little extra balance and stability. When you have to engage your balance, that also means you're working your core more, AND burning more calories so it's a WIN WIN! I used to teach classes where I would bring paper plates for everyone to use under their hands or feet for various moves to make them more challenging. Well, thanks to these nifty Momsanity Sliders - I don't need paper plates any more! While the plates work in a pinch, these babies are so much better. I love how smooth they glide (BONUS - that makes the workout harder!) and that there are 2 different sides for sliding on different surfaces.
I put them to the test this week with my fellow fit mamas in my Moms in Motion class. Here's the arms and butt circuit we did this week using Momsanity sliders and a BOSU ball (one of my other favorite workout tools!) for some extra burn! These sliders can be used for TONS of different exercises - I'm only showing you a glimpse here! Be sure to head over to the Momsanity website for more awesome ideas!

The Moves
Momsanity Curtsy Lunges - Start standing tall with both feel on the sliders. Keeping your right foot still, slide the left around and behind you to an angle. With your abs engaged, bring your feet back to start. Repeat on both sides.
BOSU Lunges - center your back foot on the round edge of the BOSU. Be sure your front foot is far enough in front of you to keep your foot under your knee when you drop down into a lunge. Keep your chest high! Repeat on both sides.
Single Leg Squats - Standing on 1 leg, squat back, as low as you can stay controlled, and then return to stand. Repeat on both sides.

Momsanity floor scrubbers - see video for more detail. Hold plank (modify on knees) with both hands on the sliders. Take one arm and make big circles on the floor, like you're scrubbing it. Repeat on both arms.
BOSU Pushups - To add more instability and core work to your pushups, do it on the BOSU! Can be completed from knees or toes.
Triceps Dips - Start in the table top position with your hips held high. Drop down by bending your elbows, engaging your triceps to push back up to starting position.
