Exercises with Core Sliders: 40+ Exercises to Strengthen your Core & Sculpt your Mid-section using Gliding Discs

Core sliders turn familiar bodyweight movements into gliding, controlled challenges. In Exercises with Core Sliders, Dr. Monika Chopra explains the equipment and its use, then guides readers through more than 40 exercises arranged from beginner to advanced.

The emphasis is on the details that make a movement work: core engagement, a sound starting position, and controlled movement. Warm-ups, cool-downs, and training regimes help give the exercise collection a practical shape.

Get to know your sliders

The opening chapters cover core-slider basics, including how the discs’ different surfaces suit hard or soft floors. Chopra also discusses alternatives such as hand towels or plastic plates, and explains how sliders can be used in strength, mobility, and core exercises.

Progress from first moves to harder variations

The exercise sequence spans three levels. Beginners encounter movements such as mountain climbers, knee tucks, lunges, pikes, and bridges. Intermediate and advanced sections add more demanding variations, including slider push-ups, plank work, circles, and combined drills. Step-by-step instructions focus on the starting position and the movement of the working body part.

More than a list of exercises

Alongside the individual movements, the book addresses core engagement, warm-up and cool-down routines, diet, and training regimes. This broader structure gives readers context for the exercises as well as options to explore as their practice develops.

A measured approach to movement

Readers interested in home-based bodyweight training can use the levelled exercise collection to explore slider work at different degrees of difficulty. Chopra’s introductory safety guidance stresses awareness of personal limits and recommends consulting a physician about health concerns; the book is informational, not a substitute for medical advice.
