An Ab Slide can help you tone your abdominal muscles by engaging them completely while exercising. While the reviews for the Ab Slide are mixed, making sure that you use an Ab Slide correctly can help you to better evaluate how effective it is. When using the Ab Slide correctly, you should feel a difference in the strength of your abdominal muscles. The compact design of the Ab Slide 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 Slide from the manufacturer, you should have a small padded knee pad that came with the product. If not, a standard foam fitness mat will do.
Step 2
Kneel down onto the mat, with the Ab Slide in front of you. Rest your bottom onto your heels as your starting position.
Step 3
Grip the handles on either side of the Ab Slide. Raise your bottom so that you are balancing your body on your knees and your hands, which are holding the Ab Roller. 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 Slide 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 Slide 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 Slide on alternating days, giving your abdominal muscles a day to rest in between workouts. Alternate those days with cardiovascular workout, which will help you to see the fruits of your labor faster than just using the Ab Slide on its own.
