Have you ever nixed a workout since you just couldn’t easily fit in a gym visit? Us too. Luckily, there’s a fix for that. On days where you can only devote Twenty minutes to fitness, your best bet is definitely an at-home workout that packs a lot of action inside a short period of time. For your type of high-intensity sweat session, take a look at this routine from The Sculpt Society creator and trainer Megan Roup. In 18 minutes, Roup will increase your heart rate and deliver a total-body burn thanks to a fast series of exercises that actually work the arms, butt, core, and thighs all at once.
The only equipment you’ll use during Roup’s routine are sliders, or small circular disks that slide across the floor below your feet or hands when you complete different moves. If you don’t have sliders in your own home, don’t be concerned. You may still perform the workout: Simply employ a little hand towel instead. The material works just as well to challenge your balance and force you to keep your core super strong throughout the routine.
In this video, Roup helps guide you to add sliders (or towels) to standard exercises like curtsy squats, dynamic lunges, and moving planks. The result is an additional tough bodyweight workout that will leave you breathless in under Twenty minutes.
Follow along for a taste of the strengthening exercises that Roup teaches in her own coveted The Sculpt Society classes, then integrate the moves into your regular routine for sustained results, like cut abs and sculpted glutes.
