Here's how to do the lateral shuffle with a touch — it'll work your hip flexors, quads, calves, hamstrings, glutes, AND your abs!

  • Keeping a tight core and a soft bend in the knee, sit your hips back, and take a light sideways hop to the right.
  • Reach your left hand toward your right foot, and touch the ground.
  • Bring yourself back up and hop sideways to the left, reaching your right hand toward your left foot. Move quickly to intensify the cardio.
  • This completes one rep. Do as many reps as you can for 60 seconds to complete a set.
