All you need is a baking tray and 6 minutes

They're commonly used to bake biscuits, but the humble baking tray can actually help you lose weight.

Personal trainers and husband and wife duo Sharny and Julius Kieser have shared a video of a six-minute full-body workout - using two baking trays in place of gym equipment.

Mrs Kieser told Daily Mail Australia if the workout was done everyday it would only a few weeks to start seeing results.

Mountain climbers: The trays are placed under the hands or feet allowing you to slide across the carpet

Lateral slider: The workout shows a series of six exercises, including hamstring sliders, that are performed for one minute each

'You would start seeing results in a few weeks in terms of fitness,' she said.

'By eight weeks time you would have a major difference in body tone.'

And when it comes to working out at home, baking trays are just the beginning.

Bath towels, pillows, tins of spaghetti and drink bottles can all be used as workout equipment, saving you time and money on expensive gym memberships or weights.

The baking tray video showed Mr Kieser perform ab sliders, lateral sliders, knee tucks, mountain climbers, hamstring sliders and sliding lunges by placing his hands and feet in the trays and sliding across the carpet.

Each exercise is performed for one minute each.

The video of the simple workout has since gone viral, with more than 46,000 views since it was uploaded on Monday.

'We have to try these when we are to broke to afford gym membership,' one person wrote.

Others voiced their concerns that a baking tray would scratch their tiles or wooden floors - but Mrs Kieser had a solution.

'People who don’t have carpet, who have wooden floors and tiles, you can use socks on your hands and feet to do the same sort of movements,' she said.

'You could even use hand mops and clean the floor at the same time.'

A common exercise performed at the gym is tossing a medicine ball from side to side.

Mrs Kieser said you could perform this exercise at home using a pillow.



'It's not about the weight ... but about the way you do the movement,' she said.

Body weight training: You can perform a pull up by hanging underneath the table

Training together: 'You don't need expensive gym equipment, you don't need a gym,' Mrs Kieser said

Towels or pillows piled on the floor can be used to perform an uneven squat that allows you to activate your core and leg muscles.

Another trick is to use tins of spaghetti or bottles of water as hand weights or to lay under the table and perform pull up.

'You don't need expensive gym equipment, you don't need a gym,' Mrs Kieser said.
