Furniture Sliders: unconventional tools to amp up your workout

Sliders may be used for moving furniture, but they can also sub as inexpensive and effective workout equipment! With these basic tools, you can work just about any area of the body (type "slider exercises" into YouTube to see for yourself). I've recently started experimenting with various slider moves, and my current routine of choice hits the abs and arms.

Not too long ago, I stumbled across a video in which Valerie Waters of A-List Look and Cassey Ho of Blogilates collaborate on a heart-pumping, body-moving workout. It's another one of those great at-home routines that requires minimal space and time— and nothing beats that. Not to mention, using the sliders makes you feel as if you're playing a game of air hockey, as noted by Cassey. It's a pretty good time.

These exercises primarily work the core, but you'll feel a good burn in your arms while doing each move. If you're up to the challenge but lack a pair of sliders (which you can purchase at your local Home Depot or Lowes), you can use washcloths or paper towels if you're on a hardwood floor or a couple of paper plates if you're on carpet. Now go on and get to sliding into that toned bod!
