Hot Workout 8 min

posted by on Metabolism Booster Workouts - under 10 minutes

This metabolism booster workout is 8 minutes of interval training. It consists of 8 exercises and each of these uses sliders. I used furniture sliders and I will post links and suggestions to different options below. This is a great new way to change up the exercises and use different muscles. You will use more stabilizing and core muscles to keep your foot on the slider and control the slide on top of performing the exercise. 

Sliders

You can use anything that has a smooth plastic bottom and something on the top that your foot will grip on to and not slide off, such as foam or cork. A handy, or craft, person could easily make something at home by gluing a piece of foam onto a plastic plate or other flat piece of hard plastic. I have also heard of people using a plastic bag,  slide it over your foot and it will slide on carpet. I haven’t tried this way, but have heard it works.

I used furniture sliders to do this video. We found the ones I use for under $10 at a local department store and this is the closest I found to them on Amazon:
Waxman 4704095N 9-1/2-Inch by 5-3/4-Inch Reusable Oval EZ Sliders, White

Valslide is made intentionally for exercising:
Valslide – For Stretching, Toning and Slideboard Exercise

If you have hardwood floors a small towel or dish towel folded underfoot will work. I have tried this and it does work well.

So get a sliding object ready ready to slide on & let’s work out!  This is only 8 minutes, short and sweet and designed to be a quick, fast, intense workout. A short burst of activity is known to boost the metabolism and it works for me. However, if you are looking for a longer workout, you can easily add more reps. Double or triple the rounds to make it a 16 minute or 24 minute workout.
