AÂ FIT30 EXERCISE
Side-to-Side Shuffle
The Side-to-Side shuffle is a lateral movement exercise that involves quick, controlled steps to the side. It's a dynamic exercise that targets the lower body, improves agility, and enhances cardiovascular fitness.
HOWÂ TO
How do I do a Side To Side Shuffle?
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, and engage your core muscles.
- Take a step to the side with your right foot, followed by bringing your left foot to meet it. Move laterally, keeping your steps quick and controlled.
- Keep a low stance by bending your knees and maintaining a slightly forward-leaning position at the hips.
- After shuffling in one direction, reverse the movement and shuffle to the other side.
TIPS
What are some tips for a Side To Side Shuffle?
- Emphasize quick and controlled steps, maintaining a brisk pace throughout the exercise.
- Keep your center of gravity low by staying in a semi-squat position. This engages the quadriceps and glutes.
- Engage your core muscles to stabilize your body and support the lateral movement.
- Avoid rotating your body. The primary movement is lateral, and excessive rotation can strain the lower back.
- Land on the balls of your feet with each step to minimize impact and reduce stress on the joints.
MODIFICATIONS
How do I modify a Side To Side Shuffle?
Easier
- If the full shuffle is too intense, reduce the intensity by taking smaller steps or slowing down the pace.
Harder
- Introduce variations such as lateral shuffles with a touch (touching the floor or a marker with your hand) to add variety and challenge.
- Perform with light ankle weights, or while holding a dumbbell.
