This 20-minute low body workout mixes low-impact slider exercises with fast, heart-pumping tabatas. I know this is the second legs/butt workout I’ve posted in a row, so if you’re craving something else, check out my Upper Body Workouts, Core Workouts or Full Body Workouts playlists on YouTube instead.
Low Body Workout: Slow Sliding + Fast Tabatas
Equipment You’ll Need:
- Slider (you can use a dish towel if on a hardwood floor or a paper plate on carpet)
- Light hand weights (2-5 lbs — maybe up to 8 lbs if you’re feeling like a gangster)
This workout will take you just under 20 minutes to complete. If you’re looking for a longer workout, do it twice. You’ll do 2 minutes of slider work on each leg (inspired by the megaformer work I teach at Btone!) followed by a bodyweight tabata. Here’s the general breakdown (rest for 30 seconds in between each section):
Slider lunge series on RIGHT
Slider lunge series on LEFT
Tabata 1
Slider squat series on RIGHT
Slider squat series on LEFT
Tabata 2
As with all workouts, make sure to warm up beforehand. I have a 5-minute warm up on my YouTube channel you can follow along with or just do your own. Modify as needed with all the exercises—I’ll explain how to in the video. 🙂
