Celebrity Trainer Valerie Waters – How To Workout with the Valslide™

Celebrity Trainer Valerie Waters reveals four exercises you can do with her Valside™.   The last three gyms I’ve gone to had Valslides.  You’ll also notice that a lot of Valslide exercises are interchangeable with TRX exercises, but that Valslides are more reasonably priced.

In this video you’ll see four exercises, including:

1.) The famous Valside™ Lunges

2.) Valslide™ Mountain Climbers

3.) Pushups w/Super Pike

4.) The Painful Pushaway

I’m a huge fan of Valslide™ lunges and Valslide™ cossacks.  Basically you can lunge with the Valslide™ in any direction you want, so long as the working leg is stable.

My favorite thing to do with the Valslide™ is a lunge circuit:

Valslide™ Reverse Lunge

Valslide™ Reverse Lunge 2

Valslide™ Side Lunge

Valslide™ Side Lunge 2

Valslide™ Curtsy Lunge

Valslide™ Curtsy Lunge 2

You can run all three types of lunges together in a circuit.  You could load some anti-rotational core work by adding a band pulling to the side on any of the lunges.

Depending on the health of my client’s knees, and how long I’ve been working with them, I actually have over 30 different lunge variations we work, in 10 different directions.  Most of them can be done by everyone, some of them – like the curtsy lunge above – we’ll alter the range of motion depending on their level of control, and their strength, and their flexibility.  For a lot of people, their back leg won’t make it that far to the side – and that’s ok.

Heavy Fat Loss Workouts vs. High Rep Fat Loss Workouts: Seasons

These kinds of circuits work well for high volume (lots of sets and reps) phases of workouts.  I’m a huge fan of *contrasting* phases of training.  So if your last phase of training was barbell squats in 5 sets of 5 or 4 sets of 8, you want to go to the opposite end of the spectrum for four weeks, doing 2 sets of 20 or 3 sets of 15 with moves like these.  Consistant, intelligent, planned changes in training make all of the difference.

In fact, if you’ve only been doing low rep, heavy training for a while, you’ll be shocked at how good your joints feel after four weeks of training like this.  And then you can go back to the heavy training.  There is a phase for everything, and phases must change like seasons.
