If you’re looking for a killer core workout that hits your lower abs, quads, and total core stability, you’re in the right place. Today, we’re diving into the Ab Slider—a game-changer for targeting those lower abs without wrecking your back—and pairing it with a full-core routine to get you strong, shredded, and feeling unstoppable.

Why the Ab Slider Works

The Ab Slider was invented and patented by Torrey Vaughns, who partnered with BodyKore to manufacture the machine and unveil it to consumers. Think of the Ab Slider as a reverse crunch on steroids. You’re in an inclined position, with your feet locked in, sliding your knees toward your chest to torch your lower core. Unlike floor-based crunches, this movement is:

• Easier on your back (because of the incline)

• More effective for targeting your lower abs

• Customizable with resistance (thanks to the plate loader)

• A sneaky quad burner (hello, leg day bonus!)

How to Do It Right:

1. Secure your feet in the footpads.

2. Bend your knees and pull them up toward your chest in a slow, controlled motion.

3. Pause at the top for 10 seconds (feel that burn!).

4. Slowly extend your legs back to start, keeping tension in your core.

5. 3 sets—max effort, full focus!

Pro Tip: Don’t just rush through it—slow reps = deep burn = serious results.

The Ultimate Ab Workout Routine

Pair the Ab Slider with these core crushers for a complete, abdominal-sculpting session.

1. Leg Lifts (3 Sets of 12 Reps)

Lying flat on your back, lift your legs straight up, keeping them controlled. Lower slowly—don’t let them touch the floor! This keeps constant tension on your lower abs.

2. Mountain Climbers (3 Sets of 30 Secs)

Get into a high plank position and drive your knees toward your chest at a fast pace. This fires up your core, legs, and burns calories like crazy.

3. Ab Planks (3 Sets of 45 Secs)

Hold a solid plank—core tight, glutes engaged, shoulders stacked over elbows. Want to make it harder? Add plate resistance on your back.

4. L-Sits (3 Sets of 15-20 Secs)

Using parallel bars or push-up handles, lift your legs straight in front of you and hold. This is a serious challenge—but it’ll give you abs of steel.

5. Spider-Man Planks (3 Sets of 12 Reps Per Side)

Like a regular plank, but you’re bringing your knee toward your elbow. This targets your obliques and helps carve out that V-line.

6. Pikes (3 Sets of 10 Reps)

From a plank position, lift your hips toward the ceiling, creating a triangle shape. Lower back down with control. This movement engages your entire core while improving flexibility.

Final Thoughts: Get That Core Fired Up!

The Ab Slider is your secret weapon for stronger, more defined abs, and when you pair it with these core-blasting moves, you’re setting yourself up for major results.

Now it’s your turn! Add this workout into your routine 3-4 times a week, push your limits, and start feeling the difference.
