Do This Express Slant Board Workout in 7 Minutes or Less
There are the days when you can get in a full 60-minute workout, and there are days you just can't. And while most think that more time means more results, the real focus should be on form and properly activating the muscles. With the right equipment and just a few minutes time, you can tone and define just about any part of the body.
Take the slant board, for example. This piece of equipment elevates every workout by offering new angles and the ability to increase flexibility, balance and strength through each movement. The slant board goes up to a 21-degree angle with alternate incline settings to allow the muscles to work in infinite ways.
We chose our favorite moves on the slant board to squeeze in a quick 7-minute workout. Yes—just 7 minutes to feel the muscles in your lower body turn on! Each movement will only take about one minute on both sides, so be sure to move slowly and with precision. Then, reset for a minute and repeat the circuit over. Be sure to bookmark these for those busy mornings when you’re strapped for time.
