Today I wanted a quick workout and decided to try something from a magazine. A while ago I read about gliders, they are little plastic discs which you can use to modify exercises like lunges, press-ups, etc. they can enhance these moves by making you engage more muscles and allowing for a wider range of movement. I was intrigued but, to be honest, put off my the quite high price tag for essentially two bits of plastic (cheapskate moi?). So I was really excited when I found a 10 minute tone up feature using...paper plates! They essentially act the same way the gliders would. The workout was challenging and really fun (I laughed quite a bit) especially the sliding pike.
I definitely want to try more moves using paper plates in this way, maybe eventually I will invest in some gliders, or ask for them as a gift :)
Here is a fun video demonstrating some of the other moves that you can do with gliders. Try it! it is great fun!
On another note, there are still few signs of spring but I cheered myself up today with this 'Hot cross bun' fruit loaf from Warburtons. Full of cinnamon and raisins and delicious with hot melted butter. In moderation of course :)
