Autumn Calabrese's 20-Minute Full-Body Sliders Workout

You'll feel like gluing your shoes to the floor after this one.

Sliders might look cute and harmless, but they're actually responsible for a serious burn. (File them right next to booty bands!) So if you want to intensify your bodyweight moves without going high-impact, they really come in handy. They're also super cheap and take up basically no space, making them one of the most practical tools for at-home and on-the-go workouts. (

While you may associate sliders with killer core exercises, you can use them to work your whole body. Autumn Calabrese, creator of 21 Day Fix and 80 Day Obsession, gave us this full-body slider workout that'll hit your arms, legs, and butt as well. Set aside 20 minutes, dust off your set, and slide into a glorious burn. (Strapped for time? Try Calabrese's 10-minute cardio core workout.)
